Re: first lesson
While we are being geriatrics, have you noticed how poor hand writing is these days?

Re: first lesson
Mine included.
The best handwriting I've seen in our family is when 9yo started at the local colegio publico and was within a short period writing beautiful joined script. |

Re: first lesson
I just assumed, obviously wrongly, that handwriting was still taught in Uk schools.
I am 60 and remember being taught handwriting with a pencil. We were not allowed to progress to ink until our work was neat and tidy. A great day when I was handed a pen with a nib and my our ink pot filled up by my teacher. I do think I broke the world record for blotting paper usage afterwards though! |
