sonja@futurebird left handed here. my 2nd grade teacher told me that they were going to hold me back a year unless my handwriting improved. ever since then, i hate thinking about having to physically write things out.
This is very bad IMO. It's a nonsense reason to hold a kid back. I think many schools have replaced cursive units with touch typing which is also very useful. Though neither of these things is always taught in the most thoughtful way.
@futurebird it was the mid 80's 🤷 i was the only left handed kid in my whole
class...im not sure how that happened.
my sister, who is a couple of years older than me and far more left handed than i am, has impeccable penmanship because she was threatened with the same thing at the same age (although i didnt find out about that until decades later) 🤷
@futurebird whats ironical about all of this is that my ex was in essentially the same school system as i was close to the same time, and no one ever harped on them about their handwriting. and its fucking chicken scratch.
all i can think of is that girls need good penmanship, boys do not. 🤮
Farticle Accelerator🇨🇦@emily_rugburn @futurebird I received an award at grade six “graduation” ceremonies for most improved handwriting. (Circa 1979)
It was because I was no longer required to use cursive and switched to printing.
Within the past decade I made a conscious effort to relearn cursive.
I don’t write often but I do like my current cursive better than my printing.
