School used to be all about writing, whether it was the exercise books we wrote in or the notes we passed around. But not any more. Now its all about typing. Learning your QW !"# is almost as important as learning your $B%. So, when my daughter came home last year with cursi&e handwriting homework, ' was nonplussed. %ursi&e writing was originally de&eloped to make it easier (or children to write with a )uill. By *oining up the letters, it kept the )uill on the parchment and minimi+ed ink blots. But my daughter writes with a laptop. ' explained as much to her teacher at the next parents day. But the teacher explained that research suggests that the process o( writing in(ormation down on paper, by hand, has a more direct e((ect on the (ormation o( memories in the learning process than typing. "aking notes in class is still the most e((ecti&e way to learn. 'ts a better way to store the skills (or written language in a childs brain than pressing keys. She went on to say, ,But that doesnt mean that one should ditch computers. %hildren should be taught to touch-type early on. She *ust (eels that learning is aided by the physical act o( writing. $uthors o(ten write their (irst dra(t by hand. Whether its to do with the pace o( thought, or some kind o( stimulation the physical act has, we dont know. But its a (act.. "he /rench would doubtless agree. "hey lo&e their handwriting. "eachers in /rance belie&e that (luency with a pen 0unlocks the mind and they spend more time on writing than reading between the ages o( three and eight.

We teach children the (ormation o( letters and the appropriate *oining strokes. But a(ter a (ew years we lea&e them on their own de&ices, *ust as the written workload starts to increase. "hats when the bad habits set in. But as proper writing becomes rarer, spending some time impro&ing your handwriting is a good in&estment.
