My 4th grade teacher couldn't tolerate that I only write 3 letters, then scrawl the rest of the word. But I was a brainy hyperactive girly-girl, and who was too bored to be bothered with penmanship. There was a whole outdoors going to waste! BTW, the best way that elementary school teachers dealt with me was to send me outdoors when the boredom turned to rowdiness. I would bring back rocks and leaves and stuff, then end up in the school library looking them up in the encyclopedia.
But I digress. That 4th grade teacher said that my penmanship was so bad that I would end up printing everything if I didn't settle down and behave. That seemed like an end to silly cursive and a perfect solution to me, so I have been printing ever since. It's fast.
My mom had beautiful handwriting.
