Oddbean new post about login | logout They should not stop teaching writing in school. Writing by hand is different brain than typing. Just very different brain.
Yes, the kiddo has been learning cursive and even has a kid's fountain pen. I prefer hand writing out my lists, it's so much more satisfying.
It’s spacial concepts instead of digital. Words rather than letters.
Tactile experience is much nicer, too.

Couldn't agree more.
It's not only writing. I think it is better for the brain to just throw a ball at a wall and catching it than seeing the most complex topic being explained on a screen.
Personally, I'd cut it so fast in the name of making time for civics or anything that revolves around teaching more critical thinking and or problem solving. On the other hand, if I would had to either cut and writing or drag queen story hour, gender studies, or or any number of progressive things, I know what I do 😁
