I hear what you're saying about scripting notes quickly by hand, but the kids today are putting their notes into digital devices ... and they are far faster at putting in the text on their devices than I can hand write. Heck, I work off my Black Berry so much that I, myself, may be faster at using a Black Berry for note taking. :)Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210763500855481934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869968589926034697.post-1156418614564140212009-09-04T12:58:46.990-04:002009-09-04T12:58:46.990-04:00I'd agree except that not everyone has a compu...I'd agree except that not everyone has a computer. And when you have to hand write anything more than a few words, cursive writing is *far* faster, so it is more efficient.<br /><br />That said, I think being able to read cursive is a MUCH more important skill than writing it. My kids struggle to read the cards sent by their grandparents, etc. And when they get into the job market it's quite possible their boss will leave instructions via cursive writing, etc., which could be bad for their careers.<br /><br /> Jay JenningsJay Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987408594232684311noreply@blogger.com
