[quote=Anonymous]8:21 Literally I use it ever day. I take notes with it when I'm in meetings or for my own use. It is faster for me than writing and is that way for most people. It is a good skill to have for taking notes quickly and as someone said before it is good for OT skills regardless. Typing is not very hard to learn. I'm not saying don't teach typing (and do they teach this anyway? I've heard they don't do this either in elementary) just also teach cursive. Cursive just takes some time to learn to write well although its easier than printing for most people, and really children's hands aren't developed well to handle a standard keyboard size anyway. I don't see why the schools can't teach both but start with cursive and then move on to typing and have some papers requiring one or the other. The parochial school down the street from me has a great handwriting program and a great computer program and I see nicely written reports in both formats.[/quote]
