Handwriting End Wired
People often give credit My good handwriting to my Catholic school education – like a nun with the ruler and the taste of punishment, made my commitment complete. But that’s not the case. This is because of my mother. A business engineer, he can execute the type of complete block letters that have only been accompanied by years of working on a painting board. As a child, I worked to imitate her printing as well as her extraordinary ornamental insult. I do not practice these skills almost enough as an adult, though: As a reporter, it attracts beauty when taking notes. Now, by doing so many of my work on the keyboard, I am even worried that Scrawl is at risk.
The mine is not an isolated deviation. Parents, educators, and neighboring fans have been regretting the end of the handwriting for years. Emails and letters began printing cards and letters decades ago. Then the smartphones came to the market and our trust in paper notes, wall calendars and subsequent reminders disappeared. In US public schools, focus has changed from handwriting to typing, as most and more children are exposed to iPad and computers alongside pencils. And in the past few years, artificial intelligence has done so so that humans have to think hardly, let alone bring down something. Now, more than ever, it seems that the handwriting is condemned.
Not
While manuscripts and emotions are at all times, the handwritten case is also stronger than ever. Certainly, some attachments are nostalgic. In the United States, there is even a strange feeling that knowing insulting is a kind of civil task for Americans. All of these arguments for handwriting ignore something: there are real benefits to learning a pen in hand and using it.
US public schools still need to be taught handwriting, so there is still an evidence that digital natives are “ready” to write less than students in the past. In 2021, Ray worked together and explored whether the children who grew up with the devices had good motor skills like the kids they did not. While these students met the expected performance level in manual skill tests, their overall motor skill was lower than the previous norms. Finally, the researchers assumed that the time to keep devices instead of pencils could affect whether children have all the motor skills they need to learn handwriting when entering the kindergarten.
But if kids always have access to devices, is it really important whether they can write with their own hands? Yes and not if the work with a digital candidate and glorious programming has taught us anything for the past few years, this may not be necessary in many areas. The problem is that Learning Handling may be required to learn anything else. “We still do not know what we lose in terms of literacy,” Ray says.
There are differences among the half of the experts I talked about for this piece on whether ethical horror is essential to writing education. For example, in many states lawmakers have passed laws to ensure children learning in US public schools. Some experts support it, but many don’t think the damn learning, in particular, everything is important. But almost everyone agrees that knowing how to write has some cognitive benefits. This helps students read, and it is likely that if they have to think about something long to write, they will remember it more carefully than typing.
“Handwriting is really important,” says Robert Willie, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina in Greenbovaro. “No, in the absolute sense; people will not be illiterate. But will some children be harder to learn because they don’t lose it? Yes.”
