My daughter's secondary school teachers, as did mine, want double-spaced
even in typed documents, to allow plenty of room for comments/corrections.
And at least one of them objects strongly to double-sided writing (which
I understand, given the low quality of most handwriting paper) and even
printing (probably because he has no habit of turning the page when
reading student work).
