I second that. One of the drawback of writing slow, is that children often miss what's written on the board and unfortunately at times, teachers forget this.

Currently, to make the writing interesting, I take short children stories and print it out on cursive font (dotted) and make him write over it and read it later, this is done as an time bound activity. I need to wait few more weeks to see the results of this exercise.

Not sure how old he is nor how advanced he is at writing, but my advice is that, as soon as he's ready, don't keep him just copying text.

Maybe find relatives/friends he can exchange letters with, get him to write a blog/diary kinda thing, get him to write about stuff that interests him.

Same here, but I find that questions on precedence often pop up during the interview process and the interviewer wants to know details and he is not satisfied with the parens.

Yes, that's a bad interview question. I guess they do not care about you knowing the precedences, but just use it as an easily tested proxy for your general knowledge of the language.

I had interviewers ask about compiler flags. That was even more dreadful. I said I knew Haskell, not that I knew GHC. (In the end, I could answer the question, but they felt so wrong.)

It's now fixed. Thanks.
