Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 My teacher wrote me this, here is my translation "also something something to compare 2 or more years b/c something the something (something has been something) see what something growing decrease should true growth??? Just seems lazy to me...
Super User tomustang Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 If you think that's bad, wait until you get doctors notes 1
dave Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Not sure how it is lazy, sloppy maybe... Cursive was all we wrote papers in school, unless it was required to be typed on a GASP typewriter... 2
Super User aavery2 Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 Are you serious, lazy? What it says is, " also allows economists to compare two or more years because prices are the same (inflation has been removed) see what industry is growing /decreasing, shows true growth". While her handwriting is not the best, I can't understand how you feel writing in cursive is lazy. 2
RSM789 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Its economic theory. Even if you could read it, it would still be gobely-****. Imagine instead that it reads "the topwater bite is on at Lake Hangahawg, lots of pigs eating spooks" and then follow her lead... 2
Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 20, 2014 Author Super User Posted October 20, 2014 Okay maybe lazy isn't the word, but I have a hard time reading cursive. Especially when it is rushed. I guess my reasoning behind calling it lazy is because she doesn't want to take the little bit of extra time it takes to right normal, it would be easier for every one in the class to understand. Schools didn't teach my generation how to write/read cursive.

I think it's just a generational thing, my parents always write in cursive because that's how they were taught, somewhere along the line cursive was dropped.

Yeah I remember being taught how to write each individual letter in elementary school but that's it...
Super User J Francho Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 Could be worse.....she could have used one of these: http://time.com/3520405/comic-sans-typewriter/ For the record, I can read her writing fine, though it's pretty sloppy for a teacher. 1
Super User Raul Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 If you think that's bad, wait until you get doctors notes We doctors don´t write, we scribble.. I actually ceased from writing cursive since highschool, not that my writing was bad but when writing some letters one after the other ( m, u, n ) it became somehow hard to read by the way I shaped the letters, which ended up costing me better grades because the teacher couldn´t read the answer, it helped also when I became a teacher, everybody understands what I write.
RSM789 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 ...Schools didn't teach my generation how to write/read cursive. They also stopped teaching how to read an analog clock. I never realized that until a few years back when my (then) teen age daughter couldn't tell me what time it was on our grandfather clock. A time telling lesson was quickly given. My nephew asked me yesterday what day Thanksgiving was on this year, so I guess they are skipping that as well.

Not to be a stickler, but in a school environment the teacher is there to guide/show you the subject matter and help you with any questions you have. As agreed her writing is a bit sloppy but nothing is stopping you from asking her to clarify what she had written to you.

I would think if the entire class has this issue she should change her style so that the students can focus on what the work is, not trying to decode her slop. 1
Super User Scott F Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 I was lousy at penmanship growing up. In 1970, when I was a sophomore in high school, I started printing everything and everybody could suddenly read my writing. Today, except for my own name, I have forgotten how to write in cursive.

Would printing it ensure that it could be read, I have seen some people who can't print any better than they write. 1
Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 21, 2014 Author Super User Posted October 21, 2014 Would printing it ensure that it could be read, I have seen some people who can't print any better than they write. It would help IMO, especially with us younger kids that didn't grow up writing essays in full cursive.
Super User gardnerjigman Posted October 21, 2014 Super User Posted October 21, 2014 Would printing it ensure that it could be read, I have seen some people who can't print any better than they write. I would sure hope so. I totally agree, I've seen some very bad hand writing. Not something you see a lot of in teachers/professors. I feel I agree with the OP in the case of laziness.

Are we saying that it is lazy to write in cursive, or that her handwriting being terrible is the result of her laziness?
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 21, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Would printing it ensure that it could be read, I have seen some people who can't print any better than they write. I can't hardly read my own handwriting whether printed or cursive unless I slow down and make a point of writing neatly.

In 1970, when I was a sophomore in high school, I started printing everything and everybody could suddenly read my writing. Today, except for my own name, I have forgotten how to write in cursive. Penmanship, that's a word I haven't heard in ages. Back in the day, we learned the Rinehart Method for writing. It started in grammar school, and continued into Junior High. Those were the days when students' desks and seats had "inkwells, and they were bolted to the floor (the seats, not the inkwells). The heights of both were adjustable, and one of the janitor's jobs was to adjust them as needed. I think it was a conspiracy by forgers. If everyone wrote the same, it would make life simpler for them. JK 1

Djf3864 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 That's not bad at all, you should see my mom write in cursive, lefty, with a crooked finger (broke it and never set it properly). There are only 3 people in the world who can read her chicken scratch.
