[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 535114, member: 1514"] Im with Kathy on this one for one reason. Your sons reasoning. Now I think he should have typed some of it and then you should have taken over. Personally I think you should have made sure he was doing some of it each day but I know how hard that is. been there done that. The fact that he was whining about saying he wasnt going to write the paper a third time just got to me. yeah...so what? Thats the way it goes. You turn in a rough draft, the final draft and then you turn in the typed version. Get used to it, it is gonna be that way for a long time to come in his educational life. My oldest son is dysgraphic and writing is extremely hard for him. His handwriting looks like chicken scratch. Making him write by hand is like pulling nails. He wanted to use the computer for all of it but they forced him to do the first two parts by hand. In high school they add the outline to it. By college its even worse with note cards, free writing, the the rough draft, final version and typed copy. Of course in college only the note cards have to be in hand writing. It took him two times to pass English because of his dysgraphia. They dont make accommodations. Heck he wasnt allowed to use the computer in junior high or high school even with an IEP. Nor a scribe. I guess we were too early for those to be popular. We just forced him to do it. [/QUOTE]
