I believe it was circa 2001. My whole life I have had terrible penmanship but most teachers still had the ability to read my writing. There were a couple of other problems that exacerbated the situation. I believe you had to use their pencils and their blue notebook. This was a problem for me because by that time I had gotten quite accustomed to typing and when I did write I used a high end mechanical drafting pencil. I didn't find out about the illegible part till I had my college's dean check out why I had failed it yet again.
