my eldest daughter has terrible writing because she always produces coursework on computer, and doesn't write out rough drafts like in the olden days, when spelling was considered to be important... her teachers demand it so they can check that it hasn't simply been cut & pasted.....so make them write it out longhand & produce the rough notes, just like my generation did.
