Yes I sure know where you are coming from here!!!

My handwriting and printing has always been behind. I use to be so

jealous of the other girls in my class who had such neat, nice

writing, and mine was always ugly and uneven. I sure was happy when

using the computer to type up stories in grd 6 came into effect.

While typing causes other problems if I do too much of it, it is

still a far better alternative for me for writing. Any way

could get a laptop to do her other notes for other clases on? Or

maybe that would be to much if she has to type all morning and

afternoon! :-/ Maybe you could send a note to her typing teacher to

lay off and explain she's not sitting sloppily, its just the way her

back is. My typing teacher also taught ergonomics so typing posture

etc. etc.. was always top priority. She'd walk around the classroom

while we were practicing typing chanting " J-J-J space F-F-F space "

etc... and shed slap her stick on the floor next to anyone who was

slouching!

All the best... I hope your able to get something better worked out

for her!
