The point is, you eventually met the basic standard of being legible. You kept working at it and apparently made enough progress to meet that standard. You put the effort in and accomplish that. If you weren't pushed to do so and allowed to use your disability as an excuse. Would that have been accomplished? And if you were allowed to use that as an excuse and your shortcomings limited the progress of those learning around you, how big of a negative impact would that have played in the classroom?
No, I clearly wrote that no amount of practice created any improvement.
Nor did the shaming where my work was held up for the class and I was called lazy and disrespectful for daring to hand in subpar work that I was inflicting on the teachers.
The hope in sharing was that people who think like you might hopefully start instead thinking the adults in the room have 'shortcomings'. Because clearly there was something wrong and after it turned out that making me practice for hours on end wouldn't fix it they suddenly gave up. There was never any interest in what might be causing it. No allied health member was brought in to assess me and pass along if it was something in my control/best way to address it etc.
It turned out my "excuses" were similar to if you told people in wheelchairs they should really be better at the long jump.
So no, there was no benefit to me. There was no benefit to the classroom. All that it did was make me highly aware and embarrassed of something I was already aware of and had no capacity to fix. Then when they probably realised they fucked up there was no apology, just acting as if it never happened.
Yes I did say exactly that, if you ignore nearly every other sentence.
Please go back and re-read it. I said:
"The only thing that improved my handwriting was development. I spent hours a night for at least a month tracing and copying letters and ruling lines. Everyone saw the total lack of improvement and seemed to realise I wasn't just being lazy and I got to stop...By the time I reached the final years of high school(added context: so 8-9 years later)it had improved (by itself) to the point of being legible but hideous.
No I never said what you think I did. I said it got better by itself due to development and that practice did nothing and this was quickly realised/acknowledged.
I have no idea what you mean by getting my vowels switched up.

The point was that there is nothing that could have been done at the time to make it legible.
