There's No "I" in Micromanage

Okay, so there's one, which is the same number of seconds it took Ben to begin helicoptering over Roman's first-ever homework assignment.


The task: write his name with only the first letter capitalized (challenging!), then learn to write - first by tracing, then by freehand - what I thought was a series of capital "I"s. Half way through, Roman started adding top and bottom horizontal lines (are you with me? It was complicated stuff), which is when we learned two things:
  1. What he was tracing was a series of lowercase "L"s.
  2. There's both an "I" and "L" in remedial, which is the kind of handwriting lesson I plan to start myself on immediately.
