I don't know if this is true for anyone/everyone else, but why does it seem like the moment (or soon after) you take a job in education, you can suddenly read some of the most atrocious, messy handwriting from children that you could've sworn you would never have been able to read before the job.

#crystal visions of lilies in the valley #although maybe I can decipher the kids' handwriting because technically other kids are counting on me to be able to read it? LOL #that might be a psychological thing to consider...I dunno though. can't be sure it definitely works like that.#but on paper I'm not always able to read the kids' handwriting if it's reeeeally bad. like I do have to ask them to read it to me sometimes #plus it must say something about my eyesight because I'm usually reading their writing on a whiteboard from at least a meter away #some of the kids ask me ''Miss Lily HOW can you read handwriting that bad?!'' and I'm like ''GOOD QUESTION'' 😅#of course I also tell them not to criticize their peers' handwriting because it's not helpful and I'm sure they wouldn't like it if #someone were to criticize their handwriting either.
