    When I was in school in the early 2000s we just wrote formulas down on the blank bits, after we printed off the rest of the document.

    I find it bizarre that someone would refuse to accept a typed document especially because it would probably make it easier to read in the case of students with bad handwriting

      Fair, and I guess accepting typed papers is more common in universities. But schools still don’t. Mostly because tradition is hard to break, in large part because a lot of people (especially elderly) would find it uncomfortable to read from a screen as opposed to paper. I can relate because I am this way myself))
