I am flabbergasted that educators believe its okay to eliminate penmanship from school curricula. The emphasis on keyboarding, in my opinion, is an absurd reaction from technophobic teachers and school administrators. Of course, typing is a necessary skill, but handwriting is more intricately connected to the way our brains get wired.

In other words, it’s not just what we write that matters — but how.
