Typing in exams

The common denominator here is you. It's your responsibility.


I would actually be ok with that

you sound ignorant again, i tried to improve it but i cant, like i said some people genuinely cant help how they write no matter how many times they try, you clearly do not understand because you havent experienced that issue

Au contraire, I had terrible writing and when I was about 15 I did worksheets where I had to write out each letter hundreds of times then worked on joining them. My writing is still not awesome but I made a hell of an improvement. It's simply laziness to not work on it and expect people to make allowances for something that is entirely within the person's control.

ok good for you do you want a medal or something? just because YOU have made an improvement dont expect other people to go through the same experiences as you. its not laziness i wish i had neat handwriting but i just cant no matter what i always fall back to my original state.

Ok so first I'm ignorant because I don't know what these lazy people go through, now I'm showing off by saying how I have my own experience.

Then I propose everyone should be able to type

i didnt even say youre showing off lol but good for you all i said was do you want a medal, i can give you one

The theoretically ideal solution would be to provide scribes for all students but that would obviously be impossible though.

jeez i think you need to work on your ignorance

Pretty sure when I was at school not being able to competently write was basically seen the same as not being able to read. Unless you have a genuine disability then 'not being able to write legibly' simply wasn't an option and you would eventually be disciplined. Hell, the generation before me would have their hands belted for it.

As for stuff like hands hurting/fatigue?.. This is largely down to practice and taking responsibility. If you had a big sports day c

You start learning to write at 5 years old, give or take a year. If after 13 years of practice at age 17/18 it's still not legible, either you have been extremely undisciplined or you have fine motor skill problems. In either of these cases the problem should have been addressed before year 13.If it's the latter then typing in exams should be allowed.

Ignorant from having had direct personal experience?

Sorry for not believing everyone should make allowances for me because I'm too lazy to work on a changeable aspect of myself.

ok like i said great that you have changed your handwriting but dont expect other people to undergo the same experiences then call them lazy for not doing so

People unused to having a scribe (e.g. getting one because they've just broken their arm) find them a real encumbrance as they aren't used to dictating their thoughts and struggle to structure decent sentences. Trying to dictate Maths is even worse and often they have to scrawl illegibly whilst talking in order to get their thoughts to flow as normal.

the way some of you assume that people should have neat handwriting without a disability is strange

Why not?

Typing is faster and it is unfair to give that advantage to people who are too lazy to work on their handwriting.
