LOL.  I was thinking the same thing and there you were!

Teacher's comment was punitive.  Your child could have a number of fine motor problems that you or teacher are unaware of.  How does your child hold a pencil?  Is dysgraphia a problem?  Our private school did not teacher the kids the correct way to hold a crayon, pencil, so both have difficulty with hand writing many years after the fact.

Is the problem handwriting?  If so, you need to address that immediately.  If private, ask - they will probably say that won't help.  There are handwriting tutors - they usually use "Handwriting without Tears" - but the one I used was useless.  I think the LAB school has a good program - but that's just based on what another parent said.  But you must address the handwriting issue immediately - third grade may be too late.  Does your child use the pincer grip?

BTW, had I had a third grade teacher write that on any work I had done, I would remember it for life.  I think it is really out of bounds.
