[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The science is so clear about how handwriting helps the brain learn. Typing does not have anywhere near the same effect. I'm very unhappy with how little my kids are writing by hand. My 4th grader brings home worksheets but they are all just multiple choice questions. I guess they are easier to grade? [/quote]

Sooner or later parents will understand that by and large, government school is government school.

If you want handwriting for helping the brain, crafts that help fine motor schools, lots of outside time and physical activity (important for all but especially boys), fresh food, and so on and so forth-- research and pony up for a good private or homeschool.

It's especially important at the elementary ages.

I went to government (California) school and this is what I got - lots of outside time, lots of writing and a really good education. It shouldn't be only the wealthy that can learn and be healthy. FCPS has lost its way - shocking that one of the wealthiest areas in the country is content with a crappy school district.  [/quote]
