We had an endless erasure phase about 6 months ago. It drove me absolutely crazy. DS7 would take SO long to do any worksheet he brought home. I kept reminding him it was all "practice writing" and it didn't need to be perfect, but he could not be swayed.
But on the upside, he is past the erasing phase and is actually a very neat writer for a first grade boy! I like to joke that DS prints better than DH. So maybe they'll grow out of it in a few months?
Edited to say - our school uses Handwriting without tears in 1st grade, and his writing is much improved since the start of the school year.
