So do students print their essays or type them on laptops nowadays?
Writing in cursive is a lot faster than printing.
For a lot of students, it’s faster than typing on a keyboard.
“So do students print their essays or type them on laptops nowadays?”
My oldest is in a private high school, and they are required to have laptops in class and everything is typed. The textbooks are all electronic and they highlight pertinent stuff instead of learning to take notes. I don’t like it. His handwriting is atrocious and looks like he is in 5th grade, which is ironically when the school started requiring everything to be done electronically.
My youngest is homeschooled (going to be in 7th grade). I teach him cursive and note taking the way I learned how to do it in college and law school.
My printing is half-way legible; however, I have seen recent printing by a young banker that was real art.
Germany has gone through three different print styles, and survived as a nation.
