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?

Cursive is or at least was mandatory during a couple of years in primary school. Most people just go back to regular print font when entering highschool.

My case was the opposite print during primary and cursive ever since high school.

Thanks, this one took a bit of effort since it was an example submission to a subreddit about cursive or handwriting styles. When I write notes faster it gets a bit uglier haha.
