That is horrible. I remember my teacher not letting the class out for recess until we finished our handwriting exercises.
I don't think you need to write/print like a typewriter (I do) but having legible writing should be encouraged. Relying on computers is just asking for trouble in the future. And spelling is just... yeah, spell check works but you also have to have the right settings (like color and colour, etc). And they won't catch differences like their, there, and they're. All spelled correctly, sound the same, different meanings.
It is a pet peeve now when I see people type and/or say "more funner" and the like. Yuck.
