DD is in Year 4 and the teacher is new to the school. She is making the children change the way that they write joined up, and not allowing them to join any letters with tails, or x's.
This goes against last year where they were taught to join all of them. The children are very confused and the teacher has said that if they get it wrong they will have to write the whole page again, not rub it out.
Does anyone know if the curriculum has changed to advise that these letters shouldn't be joined, or if they were taught wrong previously or if they are being taught wrong now?
