Fun fact, fine motor skills are taught differently in different countries. In some countries, children spend a considerable time improving their writing skills and even the less gifted reach a reasonable level. Of course, I am not talking about children with central nervous system or physical disabilities.
Also, spending so much time on fine motor skills reduces their ability to work in other, somewhat more relevant skills.
I'm not talking about students who haven't done their cursive exercises, I'm talking about students with disabilities making hand writing inherently much more difficult than for other students, especially the ones who'd have to fight tooth and nail to prove it because their handicap is generally thought to be "only mental" in spite of being more complex, like ADHD.
