Stroke order is an important part of writing in Japanese culture, with conventions. They aren't random. It is reasonable to a come up with a similar stroke ordering system for learning other languages in Japan. Calling them silly and pulled out of her ass is dismissive to the Japanese culture, the teacher, or the students.
- ver_ture 6y agoCreating this Japanese overlay of rules for English writing is disingenuous. The students might be in for a minor shellshock outside of her class. I respect the conventions they have for writing in Japanese, it's perfectly tailored to using a brush. The teacher should respect English conventions, the free-form, the cursive, either one.

It isn't just using a brush; even with a pen and paper simple hiragana is easier when using proper stroke order. > The teacher should respect English conventions The teacher is following Japanese culture conventions to teach people of the Japanese culture a different language. People unfamiliar with the culture or the teacher should respect that.
