To think DS has THE messiest maths book? -sigh-

[ds12017]

17... and this is his neatest! His teacher is trying her best to not pull her hair out. This is his writing AFTER having to stay in at break to make it neater

I'm 31 and my work would not be that neat. I don't (and didn't in school ) particularly care either. Half because I struggle and half because it's blooming maths so it's the method and result that should count,not how pretty it looks.

Is this a joke? How is that not neat?

That's neat, obviously.

Does he know your posting photos of his school work online?

He's 17?

That is positively neat compared to my son's maths book.

Why are you so concerned about it? (genuine question as my son cannot write well and will be using a laptop for exams, with the exception of maths)

He can do maths to a level that has most of the population of this country defeated.
It's perfectly legible, and really pretty neat.

What else is he doing great at that doesn't meet your perfectionist standards?
Could you bear to try focusing on some positives with him?

I'm a teacher and this would be quite good to me

Why are you posting this?

Stealth post, without a doubt.

I'm another one saying that work is really neat not at all messy.

OP - you're being a dick. HTH

Are you the child? That is neat writing.

My 16 year old has awful handwriting to the effect that the school has asked me to buy pens so that he doesn't lose marks in his GCSEs. His teacher uses adjectives like abysmal and awful (which I agree with)

I call BS!

Wow. You and the teacher must be neurotic if you don't think that's good. Why are you "frustrated" by it?

Also why compare it with anyone else's work?

You've put your son's A Level work on the Internet to shame him?

Why is an A Level teacher making her students re-do their work so it's neater? That's the thing you should be concerned about OP.

I'm a maths teacher and that is perfectly acceptable!

Oh it's a reverse! OP your mum and your teachers are dicks. HTH

Honestly, every school holidays these stupid threads pop up. It's getting boring now.

My 18 year old's is far FAR messier!

Haha are you being serious?!?!

You would have fainted at my maths books.

I don't understand the problem it looks neat to me!

Maths teacher here. That is fine.

My stupid phone won't let me see the photo so having to use my imagination

It's very neat.
