      Perfectly acceptable for beginners to write in kana. Many of my students here primarily write in kana until up to 6th grade.

        Definitely is. I forgot the actual name of the writing style, but for children’s books it is also not uncommon to have kanji with their hiragana transliteration above/beside it. Requiring someone to immediately write kanji when they learn japanese, especially as a secondary+ language is insane
