[quote=Anonymous][quote]To those who claim keyboarding skills are more important -- they are only a temporary input solution, while technology moves forward. Tablet in hand, would you rather have your input be a keyboard -- physical or virtual, or have access to a proper pen that you could use to take rich notes that include connections, side drawings, links and annotations?

The keyboard ties you down, and chances are, 10 years from now, they will start to become obsolete. But the kids will have spent precious school years learning this ephemeral skill to the detriment of the art of *real* note-taking, which will support them regardless of the medium used. And yes, cursive writing supports long periods of cramp-free rapid note taking, an essential skill in any advanced discipline. t's not about the curlicues -- it's about a practical skill and the safety of your child's carpal tunnel.

LIke you, I prefer handwritten notes.  My kids (college grads) do not.  They are quite comfortable with taking notes on a keyboard or tablet.  They are not in blue collar jobs, either.[/quote]
