Grade 1 teacher here. I would hope in 2020 that boys and girls have equal standards placed on them with their writing neatness, as it’s not the 1950’s. Girls can be good at Math and boys can be neat. Most boys care less about creating nice neat writing though, and many girls seem to get more enjoyment from making neat nice writing. I think it’s got less to do with abilities and expectations on the kids and more to do with what each child innately enjoys doing. This, when split over a class (or a population) creates many more women with neat handwriting and many more men who are excellent at playing pull my finger.
