DS12 is in 6th grade, in middle school, in a new school. Overall, things are going *great* compared to elementary school. He's finally transitioned to keyboarding almost everything and has a very supportive school staff.
Awesome. One senses that a great deal of that success is due to the tremendous persistence and advocacy of his Polarbear.
the only cursive he could really produce happened when he was copying, not when he had to think and write at the same time).
Mine is not diagnosed dysgraphic, but has this problem too. Can spell anything, pretty handwriting, except when writing meaningfully. Then it goes to pot.
So part of me wonders - should we have had him practice his cursive (on top of everything else - picture me banging my head against the virtual wall!)... or really, does it matter?
You know, Polarbear, I am not one to say "skip it"-- we are habitually remediaters in my family, not accommodaters. And yet-- college students mostly don't know cursive at this point, and I think if he can print legibly (so as to be able to write an exam, should he ever lose the accommodation) and type well, he ought to be covered.
I've been fretting the same question, so I'm glad you brought it up.
