It is a GCSE rule that at least one piece of coursework should be handwritten. This is because handwriting is considered a literacy skill and it has been getting worse over the years. I can understand why they want to preserve students' writing skills, but it isn't fair in the case of a dyspraxic student. Ruby, I suggest you ask your teacher just to accept your second draft. Or you could
type the third draft and pretend that it is actually your second.
