[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not base a decision like this on what you read on DCUM. We have a kid at Swanson. Math tests are all handwritten. Lots of other handwritten work in other classes. Study guides, homework, class projects, etc. Yes, they do some typing as they should as that's a key skill. Handwriting essays in middle school would be kind of weird. In fact, I wish they gave them a full year of keyboarding skills as a requirement in 6th grade. They need to learn how to type properly and efficiently and to write and edit through typing. Where in their life are they going to hand write any substantial writing in academics or life moving forward. It's not 1950. [/quote] All of our laws are written by hand. Our rights are shrouded in cursive. If you can’t write it you will eventually not be able to read it. Do you really want to rely on somebody else or a computer for translation? [/quote]
