I like your handwriting. It is pretty. smile

Wow! I could never write like that! All my writing goes in different directions, I can't help it, it just does.

On a philosophical level, do you think there is anything advantageous about writing like this spaulding? Meaning, does the enforced rigidity of expression really mean anything other than the script can be generally read?

The reasoning behind perfect penmanship in Spaulding is so students don't have to think about forming their letters. If students learn from the very beginning how to properly form the letters they are able to writing without thinking. Studies have shown students that have neat penmanship do better in reading and writing. Mrs. Spaulding (the creator) believed with perfect writing learning just flows.

The teachers write like this in class, but still have their own way of writing in real life. Eventually students have their own way of writing too after they leave elementary school, but it is still legible. It is more for training.

Because it probably is. rofl

My handwriting changes. It's sort of like I evolve to something and I do that something, but then I tend to find myself writing again like I used to, to some extent. I have 2 ways I do my small "d"s depending on if I am doing a change I made when I was 21, or if I forget to do it that way and it comes out the old way, and actually, thinking about it, I have a 3rd way I sometimes employ when I am being whimsical. They are all distinctly different.
