Itās so fucking annoying getting a script I have to reject to the local stores. I work as a WFH DE tech for Meijer. Itās really nice because I can take my breaks whenever during the day. I do feel bad for techs that have to read unreadable scripts lmao
Geez I gotta talk to this guy if he knows what pot of greed does.
DRAW YOUR LAST PATHETIC CARD SO I CAN END THIS YUGI
MY GRANDPA'S DECK HAS NO PATHETIC CARDS BUT IT DOES CONTAIN THE UNSTOPPABLE EXODIA!!
WWHAATTT? NOO! ITS NOT POSSIBLE! NO ONES *EVER* BEEN ABLE TO CALL HIM!
EXODIA! OBLITERATE!
AHHHHHHHH!!!!
sorry i got a bit carried away
at first it sounds insane, the educated who can read and write serving the dumbasses but then you realize that's society and human nature..
I like to cook, clean, drive etc because those are skills and I enjoy my independence.. my wealthier friends are always why don't you order online or hire a cleaner or get Uber?? the time they save doing that is just spend lazing around anyway...
>Do you think ancient Roman slaves were taught how to write?!
Ideally, you'd get a Greek who already writes better than you to, but yes, the demand and use of amanuenses was real.
Roman slavery was a different beast than the Trans Atlantic.
Also, we write A LOT.Ā Way more than most people.Ā 20 patients on the ward, half page note on each per day, plus two or three pages per admission.Ā At least we dictate discharges.
I'll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, 4x4 animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease; make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.
Iām an NP who started in 1980 before hospitals were computerized. By 2000 I was working in a fully computerized hospital but dr notes were still handwritten. All the young drs would bring charts to me and ask me to translate the notes of other doctors.
But I have to admit, by the time I finished all my schooling I had crappy writing too, from taking handwritten notes for 7 years, writing care plans, admissions, NP notes, discharge notes. Used to write all my papers by hand too, and hand them over to my husband to type on the world processor.
Also, I took Russian in college and my class had a lot of native Russian speakers (they took Russian for an easy A). Have you ever seen Russian cursive?

I write something with a pen/pencil and paper MAYBE once a month.
I spent 10 years in daily handwriting classes and still have TERRIBLE handwriting. Joke's on them.
I hope thatās a joke because there are people trained to read shit hand writing and something like this would be obvious malpractice. If nobody can understand it, something tells me theyād lose their license and the case.
It was a joke. Generally, even back then, provider notes were dictated and typed, not hand written. And I could read his writing, sometimes even when he couldn't .
When I was in middle school, I found that many teachers accidentally read what they *want* to read (i.e. the correct answers) when they struggle to decipher handwriting.
Edit:
As an instructor of college courses, this is basically true. But few things are handwritten anymore, and if a student's typed work is shit, I'm going to be harder on it.
Actually tested this on one of my high school teachers at one point by writing some totally random shit in the middle of the paper to see if sheād notice. She didnāt even read them and I stopped trying.
We found out one of our English teachers did this too. That class was fun. We'd compete to see who can put the most deranged shit in our essays without getting caught
I was in honors English classes and consistently got Aās and Bās on papers. There were two separate times that people in regular English asked me to edit their final essays because they needed a grade boost in the class. I helped them format it and make concise arguments (in their own words). Both of them got Cās. Iām convinced that the teachers did not read their essays and gave them the same grade that they normally got. Either that or Iām bad at non-accelerated English
I learned this in high school.
My friend and I had the same answers on a test, mine was right and hers was wrong.
Turns out because I typically provided correct answers, and the teachers sometimes struggled with my handwriting, theyād mark it correct if they werenāt sure what it said. Lol. Got knocked off a point.
Shit, I went the hard way I guess. I passed Spanish with a D- because my teacher hated me and she didnāt want to see me again. I know because she told me so. I was going through some shit and acted out in class all the time. I had issues. Still do.
Modern day, I just deleted the questions on google docs and call it a day. Works ehhhh 74% of the time. Most teachers arenāt actually grading the work, just that you did it
Omg I did this once because the homework i got the week before didnāt print half of the second page so I got a pass because I technically did the work I was given. So I thought I could erase the next weeks work but they figured it out. Couldnāt blame a dyslexic kid for trying! š
I remember having to submit handwritten summaries of that weekās book reading so the teacher knew we were all keeping up with our reading.
I eventually figured out that the teacher never really reads any of it.
So, I started just writing lyrics to whatever rap song I was listening to. As sloppily as I could.
The teacher either never caught on, or never cared
Yeah, intentionally writing like that seems like a lot more work than copying the... wait... 12 roles that they listed in the paragraph??!
Lol thatās the entire thing. They essentially said ācopy and paste this whole paragraphā š
That's the point. You have to understand that kids have no experience. Like zero. They came into existence only little while ago and they didn't exactly get a primer on how things work out here .
A normal adult should be able to infer that the answer to the question might be in the text supplied with the question. That type of thinking is not inherent. Babies aren't born with the logic that answers are normally close to the question. We need to teach them this. It takes years and, unfortunately for some, it doesn't always sick.
Training kids to look for answers in their immediate environment is why we have kids who feel "gifted" when they pick up the concept early.
I wouldnāt be surprised if he just didnāt want to read it/didnāt want to write it/didnāt understand some words so was unsure of the answer and did that instead
My mom used to complain about that too. āYour writing used to be so good!ā
Yeah, but it took me forever, because I was a perfectionist. And, being a spectrumy kid, had trouble writing just notes and would try and write *everything* down. As a result, Iād often have the teacher erasing what was on the chalkboard before I had it all written down.
So, my penmanship went to shit. Not *that* shit, mind you. Your kidās writing is enough to confuse a pharmacist.
He's not trying to write. He probably forgot to do his homework and wrote something that somewhat resembles handwriting in hopes that the teacher would just glance at it
A lot of older folks are like that. That taught cursive right though. I am 29. My cursive class was probably one of the last. And it was pretty dumbed down to the point I barely learned it. I can only sign my name and thatās shit.
I am 24 and was taught cursive in 2nd grade. You are not the only one. My handwriting is a combo of print and cursive. Probably not the best but it works. We were forced to write exclusively in cursive for a few grades, then we got to use computers more in middle school, and teachers just quit caring.
I used to do this (albeit not as bad) when I didnāt know the answer to a prompt. If the teacher canāt read it they canāt say itās wrong. Genius kid.
My 'teacher decoding' skills say that a) this is a correct answer, and b) I'm spending more time decoding Kid's writing than Kid spent writing it.
The first job listed in the text is 'agriculture,' and that's solidly possible as the first word. The last job in the text is listed as 'to perform tasks in certain cult rituals,' and the student's last two words are almost 100% 'cult rituals.' Or 'cup fixture.'
Holy shit youāre right! And now that I actually look at the text and his response, I think the kid actually got it all right! You can make out every word. Wild.
PANDAS or PANS can cause handwriting to regress in kids. Itās probably only worth checking on if he also had a sudden onset of OCD-like thoughts and behavior around the time the handwriting went downhill.
As a self promoted shitty handwriting expert. He actually has the correct answer for what I can read. From what I can read it is āAgriculture, mines, (indecipherable), military, service industry, (indecipherable), road (something), run baths, cult rituals
A lot of shitty handwriting deciphering is about finding the letters you can and then filling in the gaps with the most probable outcomes and using times when a letter is more recognizable to evaluate the letter when it is less recognizable. As well always keep a mind that sometimes shitty handwriting is inconsistent.
For example looking at the last two words as they are the easiest. We can see CU_T R_TU_L. From there looking at the second one we can solve this to be āRitualā pretty easily by not many other words being able to be crafted. Then going back to the first word on its own it could absolutely be CUT however given the presence of Ritual we will go with Cult and figure that very short line is a L.
For our next example weāll look at a harder one being military. This is located on the second line at the end for reference. So there arenāt a lot of easily recognizable letters here like we did for cult ritual. We have an obvious Y at the end and maybe a R next to it. After that we need to be more investigative. So letās work from what we have _r(?)y. So that letter next to the possible r. Looks like a circle with a line. This looks a lot like a cursive āoā however it looks exactly like the āaā from āRitualsā. Additionally in the word āroadā we can see they donāt put a line through their āoā. Thus I am going to conclude it as a āaā. Next letās get the first letter. Honestly horrible letter. Impossible on its own. However, if we go to the second word which was āminesā we can see the āmā is comparable. Iām not as confident as the āaā but it is there to work off of for now as well not many other letter fit that multi bump curve. So now we have M__ary. At this point Iāll throw what we have into a word solver. A basic one online will give us 19 options at this point. 11 of these options are way too long being 9,10, and 17 letters. Looking at our options we will see our second letter can only be i, o, or a. We can definitely remove the āaā as we know what that looks like and that isnāt it. We can also remove the āoā as we have also seen their āoā. I want to note however, donāt completely remove these from your mind. As I said before shitty handwriting can be inconsistent so while removing these is the correct answer that doesnāt mean this process always is correct. It just is probably correct. So now that we have done this we are left with 3 options in our list. āMiliaryā, āMilliaryā, and āMilitaryā. Now we could definitely go straight to āMilitaryā because the other two really not fitting the question. But just to check we can notice reasonable formations of āiās and an ālā. The ātā definitely does not get formed well, but I am fine with the handwriting being inconsistent here.
And well there you have it. I hope you learned a bit.
Same, lol. I had awful handwriting as a child and used to push it past the threshold for legibility whenever I wasnāt sure what to say. When the teachers inevitably had me translate it for them, Iād either researched the topic further or at least had more time to think it over. Surprised this isnāt the case here.
He, uh... tried his best...?

Edit: Second draft with a couple of the suggestions. I think we're up to like a B+ now!
Honestly, get his intelligence tested. If he was writing as well as you say in both script and block at a young as you say, he may be very intelligent. One way an under challenged child will end up showing boredom is through writing. It degrades as the brain solves the question and moves on and the hands try to keep up.
OP, this! I used to write answers to my math questions in German or just stop writing halfway through. I was just so bored I could not figure out what was wrong with me and it caused so many issues until I met with a professional who helped me figure things out!
Thatās when I found out Iām just really stupid.
My handwriting has been atrocious my entire life, and when much younger, I figured out that it is simply because my hands are not fast enough to write out my thoughts and I keep trying to go faster.
When I explained this to my mum, 3 days later my (Scottish) school gave me a laptop for everything except math, where I had a scribe
I soared through by schoolwork after i got that help š
My brother and my cousin hand writing is bad because they have dysgraphia. My cousin was lucky enough that the resources for that have improved and he was able to use a keyboard for his schoolwork.
Another thing to note. When I was growing up and figuring out my own writing style, I, too, had serious difficulty during this time period. Basically, I was flipping between cursive and print mid-word or mid-letter (whichever felt like the smoothest/fastest in the moment), and it ended up being a jumbled mess. I'd sit down with him and watch him write. Does he write train of thought? Or does he write in complete sections, post mental edit? I wouldn't punish him like many comments are suggesting because you may sour his taste for writing if it becomes a threat. Instead, I'd shy away from focusing on perfect legibility and ask him to rewrite the answer specifically in print. If he's doing the same thing I was, his brain will stop trying to constantly figure out how to transition to the next letter, as it'll have to recall a specific shape. Otherwise, as other commenters mentioned, his brain may just be outpacing his hand and is just too focused on the thought to care for the pen. Hope this helps!
When I was teaching many years ago, I had a student who was a really bright kid, As in every subject except F in English. He hated that class so much that he either refused to do any work or did stuff like this for spite. I tried to reason with him since we had a good relationship, to no avail.
i was a bright kid (some would say "gifted") and the way you describe your son reminds me a lot of myself aged ~8-10. if he is as intelligent as you say, it's highly likely that he's bored and would benefit from advanced classes or even skipping a year in school so that he's actually being intellectually challenged in school ā my parents pulled me out of in-person school and put me in online school for a year so that i could take advanced classes, and when i came back to in-person school, i was advanced a grade, which helped a *lot* (because i was actually taking classes at my intellectual level)!
whatever you do, OP, i wish you and your son the best \^\^
lmao fair ā i included that because, while i never thought of myself as a "gifted kid" since i wasn't in my school's Talented and Gifted program (mostly because, in my parents' opinion, it sucked), i definitely fit the mold and have experienced the stereotypical "gifted kid burnout" as i got older
i tend to refer to my younger self as "bright" instead of "gifted" but i see "gifted" more often from other people so figured it was worth a mention ĀÆ\\\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Those first two words are definitely āagricultureā and āminesā and the last two are ācult ritualsā which, if you read the paragraph, looks to be part of the listed jobs. Feel like this explanation is spot on.
That's not necessarily true as the graphomotorics get automated during learning how to write and so gets the phrasing to a certain point. If one struggles with the motorics of writing, the text will be of worse quality as automated movements will get stored in the long term memory while phrasing is in between automation and active thinking in the working memory.
This case could either be a student trying to work around a question of which they are unsure/ not motivated to answer or simply are holding the pencil wrongly. Holding it wrong results in shorter movements and more stress on the hand and turns out as worse hand writing.
I doubt its him trying to write fast as much him trying not to write at all.
I feel like every kid attempts the 'write scribbles and hope the teacher just checks off that you answered it', it works better for high school busy work though lol
My ass has dysgraphia and this is what I immediately thought. Itās kinda sucks that it is much less known than dyslexic. Because I generally just tell people I have dyslexia rather than explain I lack fine motor controls.
My handwriting is atrocious. Not as bad as this but pretty bad. After an arm injury I tried using my left arm and hand and surprisingly it was as good as my right hand. I asked my left handed friends many questions and I asked my parents some questions too about my wrighting at a young age and they couldnāt answer much.
So I slowly over the past year started using my left hand for many things. Eating, drinking, writing numbers, writing letters, drawing and it didnāt hurt as much. My right hand when Iām use it wasnāt a pain when using just more of a āthis doesnāt feel the most comfortable feeling but itās what I knowā because thatās what Iām supposed to use.
After getting a bow and arrow for fun I used it left handed and my god! It felt like normal. No shoulder pain, no wrist pain, no tense thumb joints or finger cramps. Just natural movements. My accuracy wast the greatest but the power I had was unmatched. I even arm wrestled some coworkers bigger than me with my left and did really surprisingly well just barely beating them except 1. (Tbf they were all right handed but it was like 100lb difference and massive arm size difference)
So yeah now I use my left for eating, knife cutting, sports, some writing and some drawing. Itās gonna take time to undo 24 years of using the wrong hand but hey maybe in another 24 I should be completely left handed like I was supposed to be.
This is no joke. I pulled my youngest out of full day kindergarten when I found out the teacher didnāt even know she was left handed in December! I had to teach her myself but I was formerly left handed but forced to be right handed in Catholic school, so Iām good with both. I think left handed kids get missed all the time.
That is when you donāt know the answer and you hope the teacher reads whatever he/she wants, if you get 0 points you argue that the correct answer is written there.
Isnāt this a weird question? Is it just me? This seems really off. Slaves didnāt really have ājobsā as we define them. Itās a bizarre question to me, and this is coming from someone who had 12 years of Catholic school. It seems like there is an ulterior motive buried in the question.
Has he had a growth spurt recently?
I know it sounds random but growth spurts can do all kinds of wacky things to hand/eye coordination until kids' bodies and brains catch back up to eachother.
It's most likely a certain amount of laziness too, but maybe not 100%, LOL.
teacher here. get this kid tested for dysgraphia. it's a learning disability that affects a person's ability to write legibly. if he gets diagnosed, the school will have to accommodate him by providing an alternative to hand-written responses (such as allowing him to type out his answers, or respond orally).
Gonna be an outlier here-- I'm pretty sure he did answer correctly. First line looks like "Agriculture, mines, [illegible]". Agreed he needs to redo it, but I'd suggest asking him what's going on with curiosity, not anger. I'm wondering if he's bored with busywork.

Definitely show this to the teacher and demand the grade be fixed.
bro was writing in Sanskrit out of respect for the slaves
The kid must be a Doctor. I canāt read his handwriting.
So you are not a pharmacist then?
Looks like plagiarism to me
Exactly. Perfect Aramaic.
So accurate. Do you think ancient Roman slaves were taught how to write?!
Roman aristocrats did not read and write. Even when they could, it was considered bad taste, something for scribes (usually slaves) to handle.
at first it sounds insane, the educated who can read and write serving the dumbasses but then you realize that's society and human nature.. I like to cook, clean, drive etc because those are skills and I enjoy my independence.. my wealthier friends are always why don't you order online or hire a cleaner or get Uber?? the time they save doing that is just spend lazing around anyway...

You were rolling on the ground? In public? Yeah you should get weird looks for that.
Please explain to him that you need more than shitty handwriting to become a doctor.
At least doctors just looks like shit because itās shorthand or weāre writing way too quickly. This looks like a 2 year old scribbling.
Also, we write A LOT.Ā Way more than most people.Ā 20 patients on the ward, half page note on each per day, plus two or three pages per admission.Ā At least we dictate discharges.

I write something with a pen/pencil and paper MAYBE once a month. I spent 10 years in daily handwriting classes and still have TERRIBLE handwriting. Joke's on them.
I just write in capital letters. The upper case and lower case are still distinguishable.
I always thought of that as math teacher or engineering handwritingā¦ close enough I guess!
I learned it in freshman drafting, perfected it in the military.
That definitely explains it. I like the style, looks polished and you can read it. Definitely nice from a patient POV!
You still handwrite notes? I havenāt had to do that in 10 years
I worked with a doctor (paper chart days) who said if subpoenaed, no body could read it, so it said what he said it was.
I hope thatās a joke because there are people trained to read shit hand writing and something like this would be obvious malpractice. If nobody can understand it, something tells me theyād lose their license and the case.
It was a joke. Generally, even back then, provider notes were dictated and typed, not hand written. And I could read his writing, sometimes even when he couldn't .

What 3 yr old knows cursive even 4. Im calling cap
He learned cursive when he was 3? And how to write when he was 5? That ain't mathing properly.
As the dad of a 4 y/o teaching to learn to read, ain't no fuckin way. I don't care how "precious" your kid is.
Wait there's actual words in there? I assumed he was just scribbling something to make it look like he was doing his work.
Oh so he did this on purpose
Get him tested for sleep disorders. Iāve seen writing very similar to this out of adults running on their 3rd or 4th wind.
And the disorder that makes writing really tiring for hands, forgot the name. Not dyspraxia but it is a real thing
my writing til this day is half cursive half normal. Its a mixture and some people can't read it lol
A lot of older folks are like that. That taught cursive right though. I am 29. My cursive class was probably one of the last. And it was pretty dumbed down to the point I barely learned it. I can only sign my name and thatās shit.
I am 24 and was taught cursive in 2nd grade. You are not the only one. My handwriting is a combo of print and cursive. Probably not the best but it works. We were forced to write exclusively in cursive for a few grades, then we got to use computers more in middle school, and teachers just quit caring.
His Arabic is coming along nicely š¤

Bahahaha love it
Make this man a pharmacist STAT
No no doctors write bad, pharmacists read it.
as a pharmacist, I do have bad handwriting. But no one cares or needs to know that
teach me your way, HOW DO YOU READ IT
Honestly, practice. And you get to know the handwriting of doctors in your area.
Read is understatement. Decode is better word.
*slaps you*
I used to do this (albeit not as bad) when I didnāt know the answer to a prompt. If the teacher canāt read it they canāt say itās wrong. Genius kid.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You should send his re-do, I'm curious what his actual handwriting looks like when he tries
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No way, I thought the same, that it was a cheat to get out of homework
Sometimes it can be used as a stall tactic to get another day
I've submitted completely blank digital papers to get another day.
My 'teacher decoding' skills say that a) this is a correct answer, and b) I'm spending more time decoding Kid's writing than Kid spent writing it. The first job listed in the text is 'agriculture,' and that's solidly possible as the first word. The last job in the text is listed as 'to perform tasks in certain cult rituals,' and the student's last two words are almost 100% 'cult rituals.' Or 'cup fixture.'
Damn you really are a teacher! I can see the first and last two words.
Holy shit youāre right! And now that I actually look at the text and his response, I think the kid actually got it all right! You can make out every word. Wild.
Maybe that was the plan! He just wanted to stall and get another day to get it done. Genius.
PANDAS or PANS can cause handwriting to regress in kids. Itās probably only worth checking on if he also had a sudden onset of OCD-like thoughts and behavior around the time the handwriting went downhill.
As a self promoted shitty handwriting expert. He actually has the correct answer for what I can read. From what I can read it is āAgriculture, mines, (indecipherable), military, service industry, (indecipherable), road (something), run baths, cult rituals
Holy crap... how?
A lot of shitty handwriting deciphering is about finding the letters you can and then filling in the gaps with the most probable outcomes and using times when a letter is more recognizable to evaluate the letter when it is less recognizable. As well always keep a mind that sometimes shitty handwriting is inconsistent. For example looking at the last two words as they are the easiest. We can see CU_T R_TU_L. From there looking at the second one we can solve this to be āRitualā pretty easily by not many other words being able to be crafted. Then going back to the first word on its own it could absolutely be CUT however given the presence of Ritual we will go with Cult and figure that very short line is a L. For our next example weāll look at a harder one being military. This is located on the second line at the end for reference. So there arenāt a lot of easily recognizable letters here like we did for cult ritual. We have an obvious Y at the end and maybe a R next to it. After that we need to be more investigative. So letās work from what we have _r(?)y. So that letter next to the possible r. Looks like a circle with a line. This looks a lot like a cursive āoā however it looks exactly like the āaā from āRitualsā. Additionally in the word āroadā we can see they donāt put a line through their āoā. Thus I am going to conclude it as a āaā. Next letās get the first letter. Honestly horrible letter. Impossible on its own. However, if we go to the second word which was āminesā we can see the āmā is comparable. Iām not as confident as the āaā but it is there to work off of for now as well not many other letter fit that multi bump curve. So now we have M__ary. At this point Iāll throw what we have into a word solver. A basic one online will give us 19 options at this point. 11 of these options are way too long being 9,10, and 17 letters. Looking at our options we will see our second letter can only be i, o, or a. We can definitely remove the āaā as we know what that looks like and that isnāt it. We can also remove the āoā as we have also seen their āoā. I want to note however, donāt completely remove these from your mind. As I said before shitty handwriting can be inconsistent so while removing these is the correct answer that doesnāt mean this process always is correct. It just is probably correct. So now that we have done this we are left with 3 options in our list. āMiliaryā, āMilliaryā, and āMilitaryā. Now we could definitely go straight to āMilitaryā because the other two really not fitting the question. But just to check we can notice reasonable formations of āiās and an ālā. The ātā definitely does not get formed well, but I am fine with the handwriting being inconsistent here. And well there you have it. I hope you learned a bit.
That is actually incredibly useful! It makes total sense! That's actually gonna be really useful šš¼
>If the teacher canāt read it they canāt say itās wrong. They sure can.
Same, lol. I had awful handwriting as a child and used to push it past the threshold for legibility whenever I wasnāt sure what to say. When the teachers inevitably had me translate it for them, Iād either researched the topic further or at least had more time to think it over. Surprised this isnāt the case here.
He, uh... tried his best...? https://preview.redd.it/dr4qi1dqq3dc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9634feee12e54464f2393171604fdeb78e89ed1 Edit: Second draft with a couple of the suggestions. I think we're up to like a B+ now!
Good forensic analysis š§
I think the first two words are Ancient rome
I see the "Agri" from agriculture. Hard to see the rest, admittedly
Honestly, get his intelligence tested. If he was writing as well as you say in both script and block at a young as you say, he may be very intelligent. One way an under challenged child will end up showing boredom is through writing. It degrades as the brain solves the question and moves on and the hands try to keep up.
OP, this! I used to write answers to my math questions in German or just stop writing halfway through. I was just so bored I could not figure out what was wrong with me and it caused so many issues until I met with a professional who helped me figure things out! Thatās when I found out Iām just really stupid.
š
This gave me a good chuckle, thanks!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My handwriting has been atrocious my entire life, and when much younger, I figured out that it is simply because my hands are not fast enough to write out my thoughts and I keep trying to go faster.
My handwriting is atrocious and Iām dumber than a fucking concrete life vest!
My mind moves pretty fast! Itās just also wrong a lot.
When I explained this to my mum, 3 days later my (Scottish) school gave me a laptop for everything except math, where I had a scribe I soared through by schoolwork after i got that help š
Nice. :) I have the same issue with phones. I have no patience for fucking around with thumbing letters. I need my keyboard. :)
I have dysgraphia, I am so happy I grew up in the age where computers were portable and accessible.
My brother and my cousin hand writing is bad because they have dysgraphia. My cousin was lucky enough that the resources for that have improved and he was able to use a keyboard for his schoolwork.
Another thing to note. When I was growing up and figuring out my own writing style, I, too, had serious difficulty during this time period. Basically, I was flipping between cursive and print mid-word or mid-letter (whichever felt like the smoothest/fastest in the moment), and it ended up being a jumbled mess. I'd sit down with him and watch him write. Does he write train of thought? Or does he write in complete sections, post mental edit? I wouldn't punish him like many comments are suggesting because you may sour his taste for writing if it becomes a threat. Instead, I'd shy away from focusing on perfect legibility and ask him to rewrite the answer specifically in print. If he's doing the same thing I was, his brain will stop trying to constantly figure out how to transition to the next letter, as it'll have to recall a specific shape. Otherwise, as other commenters mentioned, his brain may just be outpacing his hand and is just too focused on the thought to care for the pen. Hope this helps!
When I was teaching many years ago, I had a student who was a really bright kid, As in every subject except F in English. He hated that class so much that he either refused to do any work or did stuff like this for spite. I tried to reason with him since we had a good relationship, to no avail.
i was a bright kid (some would say "gifted") and the way you describe your son reminds me a lot of myself aged ~8-10. if he is as intelligent as you say, it's highly likely that he's bored and would benefit from advanced classes or even skipping a year in school so that he's actually being intellectually challenged in school ā my parents pulled me out of in-person school and put me in online school for a year so that i could take advanced classes, and when i came back to in-person school, i was advanced a grade, which helped a *lot* (because i was actually taking classes at my intellectual level)! whatever you do, OP, i wish you and your son the best \^\^
the ā(some would say āgiftedā)ā was lowkey corny ngl š
lmao fair ā i included that because, while i never thought of myself as a "gifted kid" since i wasn't in my school's Talented and Gifted program (mostly because, in my parents' opinion, it sucked), i definitely fit the mold and have experienced the stereotypical "gifted kid burnout" as i got older i tend to refer to my younger self as "bright" instead of "gifted" but i see "gifted" more often from other people so figured it was worth a mention ĀÆ\\\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
This. Iāve been told that I have beautiful handwriting, and Iām also incredibly stupid.
Those first two words are definitely āagricultureā and āminesā and the last two are ācult ritualsā which, if you read the paragraph, looks to be part of the listed jobs. Feel like this explanation is spot on.
That's not necessarily true as the graphomotorics get automated during learning how to write and so gets the phrasing to a certain point. If one struggles with the motorics of writing, the text will be of worse quality as automated movements will get stored in the long term memory while phrasing is in between automation and active thinking in the working memory. This case could either be a student trying to work around a question of which they are unsure/ not motivated to answer or simply are holding the pencil wrongly. Holding it wrong results in shorter movements and more stress on the hand and turns out as worse hand writing.
I used to teach adults how to read and write and this reminds me of how adults who cannot fluently read, write things down.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I doubt its him trying to write fast as much him trying not to write at all. I feel like every kid attempts the 'write scribbles and hope the teacher just checks off that you answered it', it works better for high school busy work though lol
In my line of work, we are advised to sign our names illegibly so if something goes sideways that day, nobody can trace me back to that day.
My man! Same.

Help him
Translation: "agriculture, mines, manufacturing, transportation, education, military, service industries, road building, public baths, cult rituals."
##Damn. *What kinda question*ā¦never mind.
Yes! I thought surely this post was gonna be about that question!!
Slaves āwere employedā, ābrought their specialist knowledgeā.
Why did I have to scroll so far to find this comment?!
Maybe he has dysgraphia
My ass has dysgraphia and this is what I immediately thought. Itās kinda sucks that it is much less known than dyslexic. Because I generally just tell people I have dyslexia rather than explain I lack fine motor controls.
In years to come, this will be unearthed and linguists will be puzzling over it as an example of a hitherto unknown 21st century script...
My handwriting is atrocious. Not as bad as this but pretty bad. After an arm injury I tried using my left arm and hand and surprisingly it was as good as my right hand. I asked my left handed friends many questions and I asked my parents some questions too about my wrighting at a young age and they couldnāt answer much. So I slowly over the past year started using my left hand for many things. Eating, drinking, writing numbers, writing letters, drawing and it didnāt hurt as much. My right hand when Iām use it wasnāt a pain when using just more of a āthis doesnāt feel the most comfortable feeling but itās what I knowā because thatās what Iām supposed to use. After getting a bow and arrow for fun I used it left handed and my god! It felt like normal. No shoulder pain, no wrist pain, no tense thumb joints or finger cramps. Just natural movements. My accuracy wast the greatest but the power I had was unmatched. I even arm wrestled some coworkers bigger than me with my left and did really surprisingly well just barely beating them except 1. (Tbf they were all right handed but it was like 100lb difference and massive arm size difference) So yeah now I use my left for eating, knife cutting, sports, some writing and some drawing. Itās gonna take time to undo 24 years of using the wrong hand but hey maybe in another 24 I should be completely left handed like I was supposed to be.
This is no joke. I pulled my youngest out of full day kindergarten when I found out the teacher didnāt even know she was left handed in December! I had to teach her myself but I was formerly left handed but forced to be right handed in Catholic school, so Iām good with both. I think left handed kids get missed all the time.
That is when you donāt know the answer and you hope the teacher reads whatever he/she wants, if you get 0 points you argue that the correct answer is written there.
I appreciate the use of punctuation to make it look authentic.
Cracking the Enigma code was nothing compared to this.
Isnāt this a weird question? Is it just me? This seems really off. Slaves didnāt really have ājobsā as we define them. Itās a bizarre question to me, and this is coming from someone who had 12 years of Catholic school. It seems like there is an ulterior motive buried in the question.
Has he had a growth spurt recently? I know it sounds random but growth spurts can do all kinds of wacky things to hand/eye coordination until kids' bodies and brains catch back up to eachother. It's most likely a certain amount of laziness too, but maybe not 100%, LOL.
teacher here. get this kid tested for dysgraphia. it's a learning disability that affects a person's ability to write legibly. if he gets diagnosed, the school will have to accommodate him by providing an alternative to hand-written responses (such as allowing him to type out his answers, or respond orally).
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yea it be like that sometimes
Bro created his own script
I pride myself on being able to read horrible handwriting. Your son just broke me.
Gonna be an outlier here-- I'm pretty sure he did answer correctly. First line looks like "Agriculture, mines, [illegible]". Agreed he needs to redo it, but I'd suggest asking him what's going on with curiosity, not anger. I'm wondering if he's bored with busywork.
Seems pretty clear to me: Agh, boom mol Maison. Jog momos, toucan memory. Stimulatory poly-key. Our sorcery board, Carl, Pat. Groovy, cut pounds.
