  Case: Handwriting dilemma
Billy is a sophomore in high school and struggles with handwriting. When ever there is a writing assignment he tries his best to complete the work however, the teacher takes off points because she is unable to legibly read his writing. How should Billy approach the teacher for help so his grades do not suffer?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If possible I would have Billy* complete his assignments by typing them on the computer. In the past I have seen students complete writing print activities. In this activity they first practice tracing and writing letters and numbers and then they try re-writing a provide sentence or paragraph that was pre-written by the teacher for an example. Sine Billy* is in high school, I would suggest working with him on his hand writing privately and he could possible complete these practices at home. This way he does not become embarrassed or other students do not make fun of or bully him about it.
