Handwriting is taken VERY seriously here, and nothing but 'perfect' is accepted. When they returned to England to continue their studies their handwriting instantly became illegible.

If nothing else, it's probably a good hand strengthener.

My niece learned calligraphy which kicks it up a notch and provides gorgeous invitations to various family events.
