Not OP but chime in to say not unusual.  Many kids that would be MS were part of phonics is bad era.  No spelling lists, spelling classes and writing for “joy” so no words corrected.  Because was maddening to us, tried to do some at home.  I always thought it was all the bad spelling kids showing up to MS and HS that triggered the change to reintroduce phonics— that teachers at higher levels maybe helped voice that kids don’t just pickup spelling by using spellcheck.[/quote]

This happened at our ES with handwriting. Upper ES teachers told the primary teachers they couldn't read the work kids were producing, and suddenly handwriting worksheets appeared.

May have been the case that MS/HS were partially behind the push. Although I will say in Virginia it was the northern VA NAACPs that got state-wide phonics bills across the line and school boards on board.[/quote]

at ours they taught typing by 3rd so handwriting was never an issue[/quote]
