"You are not allowed to write in cursive. Start over and write that all in print!".
- I never thought that I would hear this statement from an educator. It pains me to think that students are not allowed to write in the style that they feel most comfortable with.
When I heard a student tell me this, I was in disbelief. I didn't think that it was a crime to write in cursive; it was English - not Cyrillic, Farsi or Hiragana. It was English. Also, I fail to see how not writing in cursive would be something that a teacher would even bring up in class.. It's completely ludicrous in my opinion.
He's just practicing his penmanship - in hopes to improve his fine motor skills. Nothing more, nothing less..
