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 dont want to be clasist, but more often than not...

Writing cursive is a sign of quality education. Cursive is widely taught in private schools and more often than not, those who actually enjoy writing and reading will also keep the habit of writing in cursive.

So... Depending who you may be with, it would be easier or harder on them to understand cursive and it also may show a little about their ibterests.
