And of course I did. Here's our response. Dear Katie, It meant a lot to me that you wanted to let me know something about school that worries you. It's understandable that you're afraid about learning how to write cursive. Sometimes it is hard to learn new things and new ways.
Most people make mistakes when they're learning new things.
It's certainly that way for me. On one of our Neighborhood programs, we recently had a Chinese calligrapher, Dr. Wang, who helped me learn some Chinese writing, and I know how hard it was for me to try to do it right. Just your wanting to do well is important, Katie, and most teachers appreciate that. If you're having trouble with writing cursive or learning something else new, I hope you'll talk with your teacher and with the people in your family about that. There can be angry and frustrating and sad times when you're having trouble with something you want to do well.
