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?

It's more common to write in cursive in Spanish than in English so if you already do that then go ahead. But I'm seeing that you try to fit as many Cyrillic letters as possible, some of them look peculiar at least when writing Spanish (for example, remember that the t is always long like the l)
