My handwriting it very legible.
ReplyDeleteI do not have the best handwriting, but it is legible. Handwriting can affect learning because not being able to read your work can lead you to not being able to get full credit on something if your mentor cannot read it.
ReplyDeleteI have alright handwriting, It's neat enough to read.
ReplyDeleteOne thing i've always focused on is my handwriting. This says a lot about the kind of person you are, and can be very telling to employers and bosses.
ReplyDeleteHandwriting does make a huge difference. If you're handwriting is hard to read your teachers will be more frustrated with you. A lot of people have a difficult time reading my handwriting. My handwriting does get very sloppy when I am in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteBad handwriting can pose an obstacle for many students. It takes more time for teachers to assess students' work when their writing is illegible. This could cause frustrations between teachers and students and inhibit learning. My handwriting is legible most of the time and I am really thankful for this!
ReplyDeleteMy handwriting is sub-par at best, which is why I type almost everything, with the exception of notes and worksheets.
ReplyDeleteHaving bad handwriting can reflect on you in either a good way, or a bad way. If you have terrible handwriting, it makes it look like you don't care about the work you do. If your handwriting is neat it makes it seem like you're trying your best and you really care about your work.
ReplyDeleteMy handwriting is not the best but it is legible. Having good handwriting is an important key because in oder to go over everything you've done you have to be able to read your handwriting. Most kids now days cant even read you there paper's because they cant read there own handwriting.
ReplyDeleteI was only taught print in elementary school, not cursive. I think this has helped me in some ways because I am focused on print and not learning how to write two different ways. I believe that your handwriting can make a difference in your life. Say you had a job interview and part of it was to first write a paragraph on why you want this job and why you deserve it. If your handwriting is unprofessional then they will think the same thing about you. On the other hand if it is very neat and professional then they will think the same think about you. Your handwriting expresses who you are as an individual.
ReplyDeleteNice and neat handwriting is essential to be successful in school. It says a lot about you as a person and as a student. My handwriting may not be the best, but it is pretty legible.
ReplyDeleteHandwriting helps with more than just learning how to write. It helps with many skills that go along with life as we go along. If someone has bad handwriting it could affect the way they do in school or how they accomplish things at work. Not learning how to write properly could mean you have less abilities to remember and come up with newer and better ideas. My handwriting is very legible for the most part, especially for my notes and tests.
ReplyDeleteI think handwriting has something to do with learning, because if I write really fast I don't remember what it is that I wrote, but if I write nicely I always remember my notes and never have to go over them. I hate might have good handwriting, because I have been told that it looks like a girls handwriting. I think it ugly and really sloppy.
ReplyDeleteI think hand writing makes a difference on how people interpret what you write. You can have an awesome paper but if you write it where no one can understand it then you will never get your point across. in elementary school teachers should focus on their students hand writing because that could possibly change their outcome of later school grades.
ReplyDeleteI dont have perfect handwriting and i do want to improve on it. Even though my handwriting is not good that does not mean that Im dumb or not intelligent but sloppy handwriting does not look good if you want to get a professional job.
ReplyDeleteI don't think handwriting has anything to do if you learn or not. Many of the smart people I know have awful handwriting and that doesn't affect their knowledge. That is how they learn better. Now for the teacher being able to read it, I find that important because the teacher needs to see the work they're doing and studying is correct.
ReplyDeleteI think handwriting matters a lot because its one thing that can define you.
ReplyDeleteI do not have perfect handwriting but its legible, and if you are trying to find a job or applying for something and your handwriting is not all that well then they might believe that you don't care.
I believe that handwriting is important when it comes to doing good in school. My handwriting is not perfect but it is legible. Good handwriting helps in school. For example, after taking notes people with bad handwriting aren't always able to review their notes because the aren't able to read them.
ReplyDeleteHandwriting is extremely important to get through life. Although our society is becoming more technological pen and paper will never go away completely. We will always have to write something whether it be on a technical device or on paper. My handwriting is decent it's not awful to where you can't read anything but it's not fantastic to where it looks like text the was printed perfectly.
ReplyDeleteMy hand writing is legible to read but Everyone can read It. Your hand writing shows alot about you. Everyone should be able to read your hand writing. When you have a open note test you need to be able to read your notes or else you will probably fail the test. Good hand writing Is a major skill everyone need to succeed In
ReplyDeleteI think that your handwriting does affect your learning abilities. It creates pathways from your auditory senses to what comes out on paper. It gives you your own personality and also adds to your own sense of self worth.
ReplyDeleteHandwriting needs to be legible and neat to fulfill the needs of students. Both teachers and children eed to give effort in how they write.
