There are keyboards, but usually computers/tablets/phones are banned in class. Our high school did not ban laptops on lessons (it was a very liberal school), but few people used them anyway. Then there are tests, solutions in which can also get too long to quickly write without cursive. Even here, teachers did not accept assigmnents and tests in a typed form, except during remote learning. Not to mention the formulas, which would be troublesome to type out, doubt kids would be fluent in LaTeX.

    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))
