My daughter went to a French school when she was six, and the teaching seemed to be rigorous about stroke order and direction in cursive handwriting.

(Now she’s seven and in an American school where they don’t seem to care about practicing handwriting at all, or indeed any kind of repetition. Instead the focus seems to be on parsing complex and ambiguous written instructions.)

I love how this almost sounds like a compliment, almost.
