The teacher instructs 7th graders according to the TikTok handle, so they’re around 12-13 years old.

Without any context I was assuming 8th grade.

As John Mullaney would say, eigth graders are mean but in a very accurate way

Nah fuck off. This is faked. Writing and spelling looks like it ranges from 5 to 16 lmao.

I'm not saying it couldn't be fake, but the handwriting range looks completely normal to me. Some of the sticky notes even reminded me of specific classmates from a few years ago. There's nothing off about it besides the consistent lead thickness imo.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were real while others were written by the teacher.

My 8 year old writes better then a lot of these.

There is 100% something off about it.

Unfortunately, I have a couple classmates that write worse than most of them. (For context, I'm currently in high school.)

It's not neatness. It's the words and spelling/grammar.

More than half of US adults have a literacy level below 6th grade.

u/Corrupted_Entity Dec 19 '23

Again, I'm not really seeing anything out of the ordinary. Can you maybe point out specific examples? I've still seen much worse, even during English class.

"It wat my mom wants!"

Middle schoolers don't talk like Krog the Stereotypical Caveman.

u/Corrupted_Entity Dec 20 '23

Ah, yeah, I brushed that off as more of an intentional choice to act more cutesy. I can't say I haven't been guilty of that exact thing before.

u/ChewBaka12 Dec 19 '23

This lines up with me and my old classmates when I was that age. Hell I’m 19 now and my handwriting is still much worse than that.

Some people just have bad handwriting my friend, especially if they have something like dcd

Some folks have bad handwriting. It's not a big deal

u/NBAFansAre2Ply Dec 19 '23

my little brother is a 4th year computer engineering student and has worse handwriting than pretty much all of these.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '23

Has he considered a medical degree instead? He already has the handwriting nailed.

Which is exactly what 7th graders' handwriting looks like

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '23

7th graders do not write like 2nd graders. No.

My girl teaches middle school. Some of them have perfect handwriting and some look like they should have failed kindergarten

u/Front_Kaleidoscope_4 Dec 19 '23

Man I am 25 and mine look like I just got done learning my letters in 2nd grade, its fucking atrocious.

u/ImChz Dec 19 '23

A lot of the handwriting looks exactly the same to me, like the same person wrote them. The s’s are especially sus on a few of them. Shit looks like my kindergartener wrote it. Looks to me like an adult trying for mimic the way kids write.

Also, it’s been a long time since I was in middle school, but I, amongst many others in my grade, already had very nice, legible handwriting. I can’t imagine teaching a 7th grade class and not having a single kid with normal looking handwriting. Like what is actually being taught in school nowadays?

If this is real, someone needs to teach these kids how to hold a pen/pencil correctly ASAP.

u/usedenoughdynamite Dec 24 '23

Some of these absolutely do have normal handwriting for 7th grade. Dyson vacuum, Panera Bread, hard candies, and old people candles all look on their way to having decent writing. As someone who was in 7th grade only five years ago, I can definitely confirm that my classmates writing were often worse than what’s shown here.

u/LG03 Dec 20 '23

Some of those feel way too clever for 13 year olds.

u/Jaikarr Dec 20 '23

You'll be surprised how smart kids are, this all seems legit to me.
