I had the same experience as the GP commenter. Early elementary teachers were insistent that cursive would be the future of your handwriting. As soon as I hit 5th grade, teachers either didn't care or explicitly asked for typed.
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoI'm a decade older than the original commenter, and teachers started asking for homework papers to be typed even earlier for me. I did the first year or two of those on my dad's old mechanical typewriter lol. When I was in middle school it was really common for students to have a word processor that was hardware, not an application on their PC. These were basically a printer with a keyboard and like a 3 line LED display. Anyhow, the last time I can recall using cursive as a requirement was in my IB exams, and it felt like a pointless anachronism there.
- aidenn0 4y agoThe very first paper I turned in was typed on my mom's electric typewriter. Later on, some teachers refused any papers printed by dot-matrix printers because of how bad they looked.
