can any teachers help? correct formation of letter 't'

[tankerdale]

Sorry this is a bit dull & pendantic!
I had a thread about whether to query with the teacher the handwriting homework. The example words that the children were meant to copy weren't cursive and t's were written same height as bs, h's etc.

Teacher has come back saying that as dd has been finding cursive tricky, she gave her some separate ones to do - fair enough (though dd just got the hang of always trying cursive....)

She also said that t's have the same ascender height as h's. Is this right? Even when she wrote this in the communication book her t's are shorter, and they are in this font on mumsnet.

Is she right? Are t's as tall as b's, h's etc & is this what children should learn when doing handwriting?
Really don't want dd to practice it wrong!

I left in the early 70s Teen and was taught that t should be shorter (the cross bar on the t should be at the same height was short letters) and then as a teacher was taught that t should be shorter

Now that's old!

I started a new school in September and queried whether the t should be 3/4 or full height when I was teaching handwriting. The other teachers in the room looked at me as though I was mad. No one seems to have heard of the 3/4 t here!
