I print everything except my signature - but I did challenge and win the right to print my signature when I was in my early twenties. That printed signature changed over the years and is now unique Sure wish I had learned to type at an early age - I had to print everything just to make it legible enough to read, no one could read my cursive writing - even myself. I was tested like crazy when in elementary school - we went back to find those tests about 20 years ago - the schools had all my marks but no record of the tests - it would have been nice to see the results and get some insight, I am unaware of what they were testing but it was all based around language, spelling and speaking IQ - genius level - grades C minus, never graduated from high school but was accepted to university (several in fact) which I never did understand, but even my parents were unaware I had not graduated :) and I sure as heck was not going to be the one to point it out. Big issue I found with students was you would ask for hand written paper in their own words and they would submit a cut and paste from the internet and they would insist it was their own. Even had a couple of papers submitted with the original authors name at the end - parents would come in and insist their kid had written the paper and I could not prove that it had been copied. Pure comedy sitting for that shite - what was worse was administration would force me to accept the work and assign a grade- which I swear was based on either the noise ratio of the parent or their position in the community. Glad I am out- had some awesome students, some still contact me, ditto with a few parents. life can be absurd
