At the time handwriting was being taught in school, elbow problems (complications from hemophilia) made handwriting quite painful, so I was using a (silent, electronic) typewriter for in-class assignments.
Needless to say, typing handwriting assignments does nothing to improve handwriting!
Nearly forty years later, I still haven't learned to write in cursive, and my lower-case printing is either illegible or painstakingly slow. So, with the exception of single-character mathematical variable names, upper-and-small-caps it is.
