RE: Our Homeschooling Journey: Copywork

I don't recall having to do repeated words, but I have to admit my writing looked like a kid's even into my adult years. I have to make a concious effort to write neatly and can only do so if I'm writing slowly. Maybe this kind of practice when younger would have helped me, but I'll never know now.

Both myself and a friend in my class had to rewrite our essays for the teacher before he would put them in for the exam. I painstakingly rewrote them until they were acceptable, but the teacher gave up on my friend's. 😅

Oh, it's like torture here in our country. When you're learning to write your name, you'll have to write them repeatedly on a piece of paper. Then in the higher years, it's a form of punishment when you forgot your assignment or if you are noisy in class or not seated on the proper seat. I am always caught talking so my punishment is always "I will not be noisy again." Or somewhere along those lines. 😅 Clearly, I did not learn the lesson in that punishment. Haha

Oh the essay writing. I can imagine having to write by hand some hundred words. Haha. Kids nowadays are lucky they have computers.

"I will not be noisy again."

LOL. I can still clearly remember during 1st grade, I forgot to cut my fingernails for the Monday inspection. My punishment was to writr: "I promise to cut my fingernails everyday." 😂

Haha. Ang kulit. Isang buong grade 6 pad paper madalas pinapasulat, back to back pa nga. Kaya lalo kong na-hate magsulat eh. Hahaha
