The parent even bought penmanship lesson books in order to support her kid and to help him and the teacher/s told her not to make such a issue out of it because nearly all their work is done on a tablet or laptop now. I think that's a bullshit response, people need to know how to communicate with the written world. I'm probably old school about this, but I feel strongly about it.
Maybe his penmanship just naturally sucks, all the hand smacks didn’t fix my husband’s or son’s. My daughters and I have lovely penmanship. I think in general females are better at it than men, I remember in school that the boys had terrible handwriting.
I can agree with that. Maybe it's an age thing. My penmanship was fairly decent when I was younger, but seems to being getting worse the older I get. Still not as bad as my dad's penmanship. His handwriting was looked like hieroglyphics.
