Stop Teaching Handwriting

  • and said:

After reading Ms. Trubek’s article, I can’t help but wonder if she also considers learning how to count, add, subtract, and multiply as “arcane” skills as well. After all, we have calculators, so why bother, right?!! It’s a shame the time she spent writing this essay wasn’t instead used to help her son deal with the fact that there will be some things at which he will excel, and others things that will surely challenge his patience and will. That’s just life, and it works that way for all of us.
