Or maybe he should have her write a ten page essay on her penmanship.

it's bad. I had a teacher who wanted me to change my essays n ways I didn't think was necessary. I'm not the best writer but I know it's decent. I just stopped listening to her (:

I had an English teacher who all she wrote was "vague" on all of my papers. Umm...kind of like YOUR comments?

My third grade teacher told me to 'fix my handwriting' on a paragraph she had us write- I had to ask her what she wrote the next day, since none of the three other people in my family could read it >.

Agreed about username. Best I've seen in a long time. Kudos.

OP's teacher must be. You'd think people would have decent writing when in professions where someone's education - or in a doctor's case, someone's life - may depend on you communicating yourself effectively. It's very strange. That certainly sucks, OP. You should probably review your work anyway just to ensure that there's no merit to your teacher's comment, though. Ironic as it may be, it's better you know if there's an issue you need to address academically. Now if only your teacher can address their issue with penmanship.

I had a classmate who's handwriting was so bad the teachers would make them type their assignments.

False...I wasn't forced to type and I was nicknamed the doctor for an obvious reasons
