Write everything in UPPER CASE and upper case writting always looks good and more readable.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

In India, most of us are taught cursive writing, and I was under the impression that was the norm for any native English speaker.

Block writing is more legible and neat. Cursive writive is more flowery and nice. I have very bad writing, and if try writing cursive, no one can understand what I have written. In school, uptil 5th standard, I used to fail a lot because I would try to write cursive, and I would spend too much time and complete only half of the test. Well, the teacher still wouldn't understand it and I would fail, inspite of the fact that all my answers were correct. SO, I switched to block, and I could finish my exams on time. The silly teachers would still deduct marks because my paper wasn't good-looking, but it was either have marks deducted for block writing, or get 0 marks for bad handwriting. I would always get great marks in maths/physics/chemistry because you don't have to write cursive to solve equations.
I have no experience of schools in US, but if I have a kid in school, I would prefer that the teachers emphasize legibility over good-looking. Maybe, if they have a class on writing love letters, or if they have some sort of calligraphy course, they can teach cursive writing, but for regular classes, they should let the student use the kind of writing that they are comfortable with.
