Had similar experience in Slovenia in elementary/middle school. We learned upper case and lower case typing, then cursive. All with strict rules on how to write correctly.

Then came high school and computers were now ubiquitous. We all switched to some bastardization of typed cursive. Kind of like writing a computer font with more ligatures. Looks like chicken scratch, is hard to read, works okay.

Biggest thing we dropped were all the cursive characters that don’t look like their typed counterparts.
