[quote=Anonymous][quote]My children are now older and despite being competent computer users with decent programming skills have discovered (on their own) the time-honored trick of rewriting your notes/thoughts (in cursive, on paper) before tests. It's a wonderful way to lodge concepts in the brain and enhance later recall. [b]If you can't do this in handwriting, it takes way too much time[/b]. [/quote] But this is your assumption. While I agree that sometimes outlining on paper helps (although it really is possible to outline electronically as well, which is what I personally do 99+% of the time), my kids sometimes do this on paper. By printing. I just don't understand why cursive is considered so vastly superior. When I learned cursive it was a separate block of time. We spent what seemed like a LOT of time copying letters over and and over again. And that stupid cursive capital Q has no value whatsoever.[/quote]
