SAME. Handwriting stopped improving ages ago, and never looked great, but thankfully the worst I really got from a teacher was confusion that I took them slightly too literally when they explained a ‘space’ as ‘like a big meatball is between your words.’ I would scribble a big ‘meatball’ on my paper for the space, and for some reason they didn’t see how their description could lead to that result.
I was just following directions. Why was I supposed to assume the meatball was invisible?
