Really sucks for people with disabilities and handwriting issues.

It's always sucked for them, and it always will. That's why we make accommodations for them, like extra time or a smaller/move private exam hall.

And readers/scribes! I’ve read and scribed for a friend who had dyslexia in one of her exams and it worked really well. She finished the exam with time to spare and got a distinction in the subject!

Yep, my girlfriend acted as a scribe for disabled students at a university. She loved it, and the students were able to complete their written work and courses just fine as a result.
