[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the teacher replied as OP says, it is unacceptable.  She sounds young.  I was a teacher and I would never have replied in that manner--even if I thought the parent was too demanding.  In fact, I would have been thrilled if a parent wanted advice to help at home.  However, I do wonder if OP is sharing all of the story........

I have a couple of questions for the OP:

Was this the first discussion with the teacher?  Had the teacher said it was in the normal range, etc.?

It also sounds like OP wants more "homework" rather than to just have the kid practice at home.  Improvement in handwriting normally takes practice.  And, FWIW, I don't think it is taught anymore like it once was.  [/quote]

It sounds like OP was trying to practice at home but it wasn't working.  OP, if you think your DC's writing is outside the norm, ask for an assessment by the OT.  I know my friend's DC was assessed and was provided in school OT as a result. I think it would have been better for the teacher to say she didn't have resources to send home as additional homework, but suggest some the you could get yourself.  To basically say she doesn't know anymore than OP seems dismissive and lazy.[/quote]
