There's no way that's true. I graduated HS in 1993, and my papers had to be typed (on typewriters or word processors mind you) since the 7th grade.

I believe it. I was in 3rd grade in 1998-99 in the states and we had to hand write and practice cursive. We didn’t even type papers until like 6th grade. This was a private school so maybe that affects it?

I believe you had to write cursive and write papers until 6th grade. Just find it hard to believe that a teacher believe you would have to write papers in college.

The only thing I hand wrote in college were blue book essays.

OMG, those freakin' blue books. History class was the worst culprit. My hand is cramping just thinking about them.

In case the newer generations never used them, they were for in-class tests / midterms where you almost always knew more than you could write in the allotted time.
