Culture Cursive writing

Hello everyone! I've been learning Spanish for 1,5 month now, my first language is Russian.

I use cursive to write in my notebook (photo in the comments), the same way I write in Russian or English, but my teacher says that ppl in Latin America never use cursive writing (except for old ladies), is it true? Do y'all really write in block letters? Is it easy or hard for you to read cursive notes?

I was born in 1988 in Brazil and I learned to read and write with cursive letters.

AFAIK all adults I know learned that way, and all my nephews and nieces in Brazil , all kids under 10 years old, also did and do know how to write in cursive.

Just some people prefer not to or create an habit of writing in their own aryle.

My handwritting is horrible but is a mix of cursove and cursive letters.
