[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cursive writing is very important for the neurological benefits it provides (connecting hand action and brain function), fine motor skills, etc… Better to have a child doing a couple of pages of cursive writing than hooked to a screen. [/quote]

They do hundreds of things a day that connect hand action and brain function.   Needle point would be a better choice.

If they choose an office job they will be staring at a screen all day.  They won’t be writing in cursive.   Better to work on their typing skills.   [/quote]

Omg how stupid are you?

It’s not the job they have as an adult it’s about teaching their brains to learn. Their brains are developing so expecting their brain to be able  process information from reading a screen and typing is not how it works. If works for adults because we learned w tactile books and pencil and paper.

The kids who had calculus will not be better off - it will be the kids who know how to learn.

Thanks for the study. We do some cursive at home but mostly for DC’s handwriting and so they can have a signature [/quote]
