- Wowfunhappy 7y agoThis is true. I don't think schools should completely drop handwriting, at least not within my lifetime. It's necessary for filling out forms at the doctor's office, and signing contracts. But a little basic ability is all you need—you don't need to write neatly or quickly. So if schools want to focus on it less, that makes sense to me. Nobody should have to write whole passages by hand.
- mrr54 7y agoI fundamentally disagree. There's conclusive evidence that writing notes in lectures by hand leads to better recall. And kids should not be dependent on these disgusting privacy-invading ad platforms we call computers to write things down.
