Reactions as teacher posts student's handwriting
The post attracted engagement, with many Nigerians flooding the comment section to share their opinions.
While some sympathised with the teacher and agreed that illegible handwriting could make marking exhausting, others joked about how challenging it must have been to decipher the content.
Franklin said:
"Some students struggle with dysgraphia; difficulty with writing, just like others have dyslexia; difficulty in reading. It affects how letters are formed, spacing, and overall clarity, even when they understand the work. You can help the student by slowing down his/her writing, practicing letter formation regularly, using guided lines or wider spacing while writing and giving extra time for written tasks. Not every messy script is carelessness. Sometimes, it’s a learning difficulty that needs patience, not punishment."

Nnem reacted:
"Is this English? I can't read anything.Advice the student to learn handwriting with that handwriting 20 leaves, he/she will definitely improve."
Mosafejo added:
"Same jss3, Mrs Oguntoye told about 6 of us with bad handwriting to buy 2a and 2b or 2d ( the one for handwriting) I can’t say it made my handwriting better but it helped one of us. You can do the same to him or her."
