use my very best handwriting...

[biddysmama]

when i write letters for ds's school... i'm trying to write one now but i keep having to redo it.. why? i'm not at school any more

Only a problem if you underline the date in red ink and sign it with your name and age in years AND months... :P

Do you decorate the margin?

use your little finger to make the spaces between the words.

oooo biddysmama, I've just finished filing in dd's registration form for school and I had to redo it twice because I wanted my handwriting to be just perfect. You can take the girl out of school but you can't take school out of the girl

AND I used up two envelopes because I couldn't get the G just right (I used to be pulled up on my G's in school, but never bothered about it after leaving!)

You're all being unreasonable...and sounding slightly insane!

Of course it's insane!

I always type any letters to school. Forms are a different matter however.

As a TA, we always check parents spellings and punctuation and grade accordingly, so no, you ANBU, it's nice to know parents still care.
