re: Teacher to student: "Stop writing in cursive. You've had several warnings."

I have had students who write in cursive and everything looks like a signature. If I can't read it..... I don't grade it.

If the teacher's rule is to print your name, then print your name. The end.

It may create a news story one day for no reason at all

In a reasonable world, this would be grounds for being disqualified from any teaching position until the situation is rectified through further education of the teacher (at her own expense).

Ahh, an excellent example of how an opinion can be completely wrong.

A closing on a home is going to take forever when these kids all grow up and start printing their name as a signature.

Maybe they should be teaching the class. Doesn't sound like you're up for the job.

You must have low standards when considering "skills."
Do you also consider using an apostrophe or abbreviation a skill?

Where did it say that?

This makes me angry at the Mom for stirring a pot that didn't need to be stirred. She doesn't even understand why the note was written and jumps to conclusions without even speaking with the teacher. The daughter could have been told several times to print her name, which is why the note was written. Reading the facebook comments on makes me sad about how many stupid people we have in this world.

I'm quoting someone else's post, I assumed they could provide the relevant quote if requested.

Teacher needs to grow the frick up and not care if her name is in cursive or not.

Which OT'er is this?

Eric Rau: The issue with this is 1. Kids need to learn to follow directions. I understand all kids don't learn the same but when you are told to print your name you print your name. When you are told to sign your name. Then you sign it. This is common sense. If someone scribbled some cursive on a job application where it says to print name I would throw it out. They obviously can't follow simple direction. 2. The teacher is asking nicely to please print. This isn't the first time obviously. So once again the kid isn't punished. They are just being asked to do what they are told. 3. Why does it matter one bit of her mom is in the military?! I'm in the military and we are taught to print at all times and use all uppercase in our writing. Is this kid supposed to be able to do what she wants cause her mom is military. If this was sent home on my kids paper is ask them why the hell they don't want to listen to the teacher. Stop bashing a teacher who is teaching kids to follow directions. Start holding people and kids accountable for their actions rather then try and victimize every kid that doesn't get their way.

Not being able to decipher lab reports because students write like they are signing checks means I'm not up for the job? How a kid writes his/her name is not a big deal to me at all. Students need to learn how to turn in quality work.

I would probably do the same if I were a teacher.

We were forced to write in cursive for everything we did in 3rd and 4th grade. I hated it because it slowed me down, but it did improve my handwriting.
However, for as long as I can remember I have had teachers tell us to print our name when turning in an assignment so they can easily grade them. This mom is leading by example to her child that she can do what she wants even when instructed not to. I hope her child writes her name on all her standardized tests instead of bubbling them in because she can't follow orders and gets a 0.

I've printed since 1985 or so including my signature. When I moved to Missouri the DMV wouldn't accept my signature. I just scribbled some shite and said, "That isn't my signature but here you go Bud." and they accepted that. I decided I liked my kewl new illegible signature so I've kept it. It still isn't cursive but nobody can tell.
