:)  That's a clever strategy from the teacher.

When I learned cursive (in 4th grade), I remember learning that teachers & instructors in later years would want us to use cursive for basically all of our writing.  So I tended to write in cursive after that.  When I was in 7th grade, my English teacher said he wanted me to switch to writing in regular (non-cursive) writing because he had a hard time reading my cursive.  :)  So then I decided to never use cursive again (except for signing my name).
