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!) As a 10th grader Billy has had this issue for years and the teacher should know the he may have problems with his motor skills. I would use my discretion as a teacher and let him type his assignment. Taking away points seems pointless and this teacher should remember that as a teacher we should be more compassionate.
