[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can your kid and his teachers read his writing?

My 7th grader has tiny cursive. I have 51-year-old eyes and struggle with it. His teachers are fine with it though.[/quote]

I’m impressed your kid can write in cursive. My kids can’t even read it![/quote]

Some teachers have had my kid rewrite his work in printing because the other kids can't read cursive when they exchange papers to correct in class. I guess most schools don't even teach it anymore! He gets frustrated because cursive is very easy for him and printing is slow/hard.[/quote]

[b]You should complain.[/b] That is an unacceptable burden on your child, and he should not have to accommodate other people's shortcomings. Middle school DD had a couple of teachers tell her they had a hard time making out some words (!), but they were apologetic about it. And no student has ever complained during peer review.

Ah, the de facto DCUM response.

I'm a teacher & I do not have students re-write because of cursive, but I have asked them to write "in a larger font for old eyes". Know your audience.[/quote]
