When I was in sixth grade, many eons ago, I was doing my home work at the kitchen table. My mother can over and looked at my notes and said “where did you get your notes from”. I said I copied them from the blackboard. Then she said " You’re going to a eye doctor"
My handwriting was so bad that even I could not always read it. My typing was readable, but not always the right letters and often involved going back and correcting it.
Printing worked. I would write as is if I was back in first/second grade and print the answers for the exams.
Then my senior year of high school (early 1970s) we learned how to program this wonderful device – it took up most of a class room and we had to sit and type punch cards with what we wanted it to do in its own language – called FORTRAN – only a special few were allowed to use it – I knew someday it would solve my poor handwriting problem. Next thing I knew I was in college and a new version of the device had come along – it allowed us to sit at “typewriter” at various places on campus and type in what we wanted it to do in “BASIC”. At the time our teachers/professors would tell to enjoy using these devices as we would “NEVER” be able to play with them again as they were so expensive and, still, only a few fortunate ones of us could use it.
Thank goodness the devices got cheaper and smaller and most of us have at least one at home so it is easy to go back and correct errors in what we want to say/print – thank goodness for the home computer as my handwriting is as bad or maybe even a bit worse. If I do have to hand write something (other than my signature) I write it in print not script.

I made up a language in my youth, and many, many ciphers =)
