This teacher is incapable of giving clear instructions. Take it up with the higher-ups in the district if at all possible.
Back in middle school around 2009, I was on the brink of failing Reading class on the first few weeks of 6th Grade because I never wrote my whole syllabus in cursive, even though the entire thing was already written, in addition that you also had to write the page where your parents have to sign.
I loving hate teachers who take one subject and change it to another, too. I have a English class which minds of well be middle school reading class, so I won't give a stuff if I fail next year's English course.
Reading and language from middle school tend to be merged into a single course in high school.
But seriously, entire thing in cursive?
Lemme tell you bout my school district:
In fourth grade, you have to write everything in cursive. They say that you'll have to do it for the rest of your life and that no printed school assignments will ever be accepted again.
When I was in fourth grade I was taking math class in fifth grade. I never used cursive. The teacher didn't give a stuff. Neither did anyone else. Ever. They teach you it and tell you to use it forever and that's it. Never again.
And having to rewrite your entire loving syllabus? What the hell? It's already loving written.
Again, take it up with the higher ups in the district if you can.
"guys do this math"
"ok"
"bobby you got the right answer but you didn't do the math the way I showed you"
"but this way is easier for me to both do and understand. plus I got the right answer!"
"bobby you can't do that"
"why ms. teacher bitch?"
"because it wasn't the way I taught you. and so you fail"
story of my life
This is what we run into most of all at my district. The whole "show you can do it this way" thing. My class and I for "Literature of a Selected Author: Charles richardens" got to meet with three school board members, the superintendent, the assistant principal of the district's only high school, an athletics director, the school board president, etc. to ask questions. It was good. Turns out the curriculum is outdated and they aren't getting the right cash in the right places to fix it.
