It definitely is nice to relax for a bit! If my experiences can help anyone else get through a stressful decision making time, that's great too.

St pauli girl, as for Cursive, my daughter who is in K has started talking about 'running writing' and asking me if I know how to do it. So I think it must be discussed at least. The year 3 thing sort of rings a bell for me too, so maybe next year DS will get to start learning cursive. The psychologist who did his assessment also mentioned cursive might be good for him.

My own handwriting is still pretty bad too, so I just hope he gets to a functional level with his writing. It doesn't have to be beautiful, just legible.
