[quote=Anonymous]I used to be of the mind thought that it didn't matter. But now I have an 8th grader and his printing still looks like he is in kindergarten. He forms his letters differently than I was taught. We asked teachers about this each year and were told it didn't matter and the neatness would improve as he got older. Then in 6th grade when his printing was not getting any neater we requested an evaluation. Then we were told it was too late to change!! The school will not offer and services for this now since "everything" is done on the computer. We will be spending the summer at home working on this. I would try and correct your child's letter formation this summer. Do a sticker chart and bribe her. I will always regret not doing something when my son was younger.[/quote]
