this may sound weird but for me it depends on what class I'm in and my mood. ( good/happy mood = good handwriting. sad/sick mood = shit handwriting or typed notes (lol) ) and I always write in block. cursive makes writing look messy.
For my fav subjects like Chem and Psych my handwriting is
amazing (no joke) best handwriting you will ever see. Im my other subjects if I'm feeling good and everything my handwriting will be fairly decent.
For the duration of this semester while I was in spec maths, my handwriting was trash, I couldn't read it ( how bad it got
) mainly cause I gave 0 ****
and whenever my teacher would come and check my book she genuinely seemed fine about it ( which was weird cause it was terrible) guess she knew the motivation levels dropped.
I guess the only reasonable explanation my handwriting is good, is because my parents made me start writing at a really young age ( before primary school) and by the time I was in year 2 or 3 (forgot) I was the first one in the year level to be given a pen license.
My experience - super neat through primary school and early high school. Always got given the scribe job for group assignments/activities as a result lol.
been doing that job for every assignment since start of high school
Since I have started teaching, i've had to resort to block purely because my handwriting is terrible. I've never had good handwriting.
I actually prefer when teachers write in block compared to cursive on a whiteboard, only because cursive ends up looking like a bunch of squiggly and wave -ish lines. Where as block is neat and precise
Huh you say your handwriting is terrible, I wonder if you've ever been criticised ? ( surely not)
