    I often read that the child should be watched over while doing their handwriting/copywork/transcription.  I find this to be a bit of a challenge when I have two children going at the same time.  I’ve realized that the logical solution is to have them do their lessons at different times.  However, I am curious as to how CM was able to do this in a classroom setting with several children?

    Maybe she had small class rooms or teacher assistants? 🙂

    I thought that as well.  If not assistants, how would she be able to catch the mistakes?

    I don’t know the answer– but I do know (from experience) that children do have to be monitored while doing their handwriting work — at least during the learning stage (mine are in 4th, 2nd, and K grades).  My girls are very inventive with their handwritng and once they get in the habit of doing it incorrectly, it’s HARD to teach them the right way.
