There are studies about boys handwriting vs girls. Boys are way behind for many years due to much greater finger dexterity of girls. Just one of many obstacles placed in front of boys in some schools.
I sort of expected that, given all the coverage of that here and other school sites but what surprises me is the difference in attitude towards intellectual development vs physical development. Why does no one make the "they all catch up by 3rd grade" statements aboutt writing. Its very strange to me!
