Peter: How's my handwriting? Paige: Practically illegible. Peter: Hmm. That's not good. I have a test with a bunch of essay questions tomorrow. I'm going to have to try harder. How's it now? Ah, that's more like it. Paige: Playing the ol' "benefit of the doubt" gambit, I see.

This reminds me of when I would have to write a one page essay in school. I would double space it and space out my words so I could write less!

For some reason in Brit Lit class my professor would make me carry the old Smith Corolla on test days.

Peter could be a doctor

Nah, he can’t be a doctor. Doesn’t have the patience.

I homeschool my son, and when I can’t read his handwriting, it’s automatcaily wrong. Mis-spelling aside, if I just can’t read, he has to re-do it.

Peter *is* studying hard – contra-penmanship!

in my school, the teachers wouldn’t accept anything they couldn’t read…
dstufff: That’s what I did (and do) too! And if it has to be typed, make the margins just BARELY bigger, do 12.5 size font instead of 12, 2.15 spaced instead of double spaced, a line between paragraphs instead of just going down and indenting, and double spaces (two spacebar taps) inbetween words. Not a noticeable difference when compared to other essays, but it made the essay longer, especially ones that required 7 or 8 pages.

All the teacher has to do is ask Peter what it says.
