      Could be, as they start learning English in 2nd grade or after in Germany. But yeah, my kids are way older, and their handwriting is far worse :))

        noooooo lol that’s adults handwriting. Kids handwriting looks like drunken chicken scratch until they’re past 4-5th grade if they’re regularly encouraged to practice. The “neat” student handwriting I have seen is still marginally worse than this. The start/stop of the penmarks and overall uniformity is pretty telling imo.

          The “R” in mushroom is what gave it away. No child in the history of reproduction has written one like that.

            When I was growing up my teachers told me I had to learn good cursive because all of my collage papers would be hand written in it for context. So I know the feeling maybe lol. It’s really shocking how absolutely garbage kids are at writing now, at least where I am anyways.
