[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, our kids use pencils and then those erasable frixion pens. I am happy our school is also brining back cursive writing and our teacher is kind to encourage the top 5 best writers (by class and teacher’s votes {worth double points}) will get nice fountain pens as a gift from her own pocket.

It’s small but such gestures really encourages good penmanship which is lacking so much in today’s e-world[/quote]

I used to transfer written words and diagnoses from the medical staff onto the computer around early 2000s.  About half of the medical staff used cursive that was unreadable a lot of the times.   We had to send many back so records were delayed.  The errors in patients records were more than likely to be from poor cursive writing.   It sure wasn’t the ones who printed.

Medical staff now input a lot of information into their computers themselves.  Lose the cursive and work on fast and accurate typing if you want to help your child in their future jobs.   This would include most professions.  [/quote]
