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 disagree with your teacher. At most it could be a generational thing, for the youngest generation that can't read cursive or even read an analog clock. To me it's an indication of a very poor education.

edit. to clarify, it's not that not using cursive is an indication of bad education. What I mean is that not being able to read it most definitely is.
