They were even told to write each letter in the exactly same way every time.

Although the pupils’ grammar needs improving, their handwriting is so neat that they could be easily mistaken for being written on computers.
However, despite the pupils’ perfect spacing and fine grasp of italics, their teachers still found room for them to improve.
