DD is just finishing year 2 and we've ahd a letter home to say everyone has to have a fountain pen from next term.
DD is left handed as am I. I had to use a fountain pen at school and hated it as it always smudged and my work looked dreadful as a result. DD has worked really hard on hand writing this year and is desperate to move to a pen and obviously wants to be like everyone else. However I fear this will really dispirit her. I want to try to find an alternative that will please both the school and DD. Can anyone suggest anything please? I'm happy to pay a bit extra if it means she'll be happy and cope well.
