[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 501620, member: 11755"] He does know there is a problem, I just don't think those kinds of comments help anything. His teacher last year would write things like "Great job keeping the letters on the line, S! Next week let's work on making the letter N lower case!" Not just a generic "can't read" that isn't a helpful comment. He/We can't do anything to address "too messy", we could address "Try to keep your letters in the box" Is she talking because he's erasing too much, because his letters are to cramped, etc. And I will go back to the stuttering. If your kid was in Special Education/speech therapy at school for a stutter or something and a teacher told him after an oral report "I can't understand you" wouldn't that be wrong of her? Or if she counted off points on his speech because she couldn't understand? I KNOW he needs to work on his neatness/handwriting IN class, I really do! I'm not saying otherwise and I always encourage him to take his time, go slow, etc, at home when we're doing homework, it isn't perfect (or always legible) at home either. I think part of the problem is that in handwriting they're working on cursive only, which is ok, except that he doesn't knwo enough to write only in cursive, so what he is able to write in cursive is easier to read than in print, he doesn't know enough of connecting the letters, etc, to make it applicable in the classroom. So he's still printing everything there. I feel like I"m rambling...sorry, I just think her comments are rude and not helpful. He knows his work is messy... [/QUOTE]
