Not so bad...
An amusing post despite the lack of caps!

Unless I can't actually understand the post,
I don't really get annoyed about punctuation etc...

now for a /blog bit

When I was in primary school, I was often the last finished my work and as a result tubeboy (aged 6) was placed in a remedial class after luch for an hour so. Mrs. Byrne was lovely but, even at 6, i wondered why she treated me like a simpleton, giving detailed explanations as to why Mr. Capital Letter went at the start of sentences and so forth. I eventually got sick of the class and dutifully lined up with the rest of my class at the end of lunch and nothing was said of it. However, one memory I have from Mrs. Byrne's class is of a boy who didn't use spaces when writing instead he used a crayon to draw a line to seperate words (something like this: |).I lived beside this boy and hung around with him a bit in primary school and he was by no means stupid...

Anyways, back in 'smart' class, I simply upped the ante with respect to my writing speed and got my work done much to the detriment of my handwriting. Not to blow my own trumpet or anything, but I was always in the smarter half of my class and have primary school reports going back years to prove this however the only poor/fair marks I ever got were for handwriting (which warrants a place on a school report for under 12s apparently).

The teacher who put me in that class is sort of a family friend and I see her occasionally and she is always nice and smiley and pleasant; something which makes me seethe. I am surprisingly bitter and resentful towards this woman for putting me in the retard class (I don't even know if my parents were consulted as they have never mentioned it and as nothing was said/done when I stopped attending it).

Any ways, the reason i posted that delightful ingight into my formative years was that I want you to understand why I applaud your not getting caught up on the OPs grammatical mistakes and remembering to praise the story. Too many people play the "MY EYES!!!!!11!!!oneone11!!!eleventy" card when faced with poor grammar on the internet. Fuck them I say! Respect mate and good tale OP

/edit and fuck The Reaper

Similar situation here,
long story short - I too can only write legibly if I do it really slowly and so collected many spankings as a lass.

Fast-forward 30-odd years: as a mature student at university, I was diagnosed with dyspraxia and laden with free goodies including a laptop and various recording gadgets.

Life, eh.

My case is not that serious...
I remember once in secondary school, I asked for extra paper during a class test but none was to hand. I was told to use the chicken with the smaller feet. ;-)

I would love a free laptop and gadgets though... Life, eh?
