Well, if that comment came from a qualified teacher and were kept in confidence, I wouldn't see anything wrong w/ it. Good handwriting can be a valuable skill and habit and I do wish I had tried harder at it early on before my poor handwriting had become so stubournly established.
What bothers me about these writings is that they seem to come from other (presumably troubled) teens receiving treatment at the same facility and, rather than being kept in confidence, they are published on the internet for all the world to see.
While no one can know the mind of another, I can't say that the
reason for this has anything at all to do w/ humiliating the students or w/ keeping the level of scrutiny (and all the stress that attends) at a high level, I do have a hard time understanding the thinking of the adults in charge. Isn't it as obvious to them as it is to me that these consequences are pretty much inevitable?
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
