I have terrible handwriting, so that has to be noted when choosing paper & pen, so people don't get penalized for poor handwriting.

- eru 18y agoI had and have terrible handwriting. But that did not penalize me in school. I'd hate to type on querty-keyboard (as opposed to a sensible layout) much more than having to write by hand.
- iamcalledrob 18y agoGood point, I didn't think about that. If you can't write well because you are just sloppy and don't care, then I think it's your own fault... but, of course, that might not be the case if you have a learning problem (no, that doesn't make you stupid, just a different skillset). I know what was done here is that students with recognised learning difficulties (dyslexia, for example) get extra time if they take a long time to get their answers on paper.. or, on request, someone to read or write for them, which gives them a fair shot in comparison to everyone else.
