the article raises points in favor that i agree with, but i'm also a weirdo that's in favor of handwriting as much as possible.

i know it helps me remember things way better, and writing in script rather than just block even moreso.

they have ink for lefties that dries near instantly

as a guy who has many pilot metros and other fountain pens, I would like more people to use fountain pens but I find it impractical for most k12 students to have them given the difficulty in sourcing ink quickly without going online and also getting them to do the minimum amount of maintenance to keep them from drying out or getting ink everywhere

I didn’t take art in high school so maybe this is already a solved problem

tldr having a nice ballpoint pen is good enough to use for cursive

Preppys basically never dry out as long as you can put the cap back on

Well, that's the thing, it's not quite that straightforward because there's some neurology weirdness going on. A fair number of studies - like this one, which actually isn't one I'd seen before - have found a connection between note-taking by hand and information retention, possibly because the use of fine motor control encourages the brain to form those memories for whatever reason, and the effects are found in both adults and children.

Like I said, I didn't grow up writing everything, and was a "computers from the age of 5" person and took my college notes on a laptop. Turns out I retain written information noticeably better than typed. But my anecdote is just that, anecdotal, and if the subject actually interests you there's plenty of academic work on it - not all of which comes to the same conclusion! It's still very much an open area of study, not one we can readily dismiss.

Edit: And is it a big deal in the grand scheme of education? Nah. But if we're legislating about it anyway, might as well do it properly.

it's definitely anecdotally the case with me too. i took notes both ways in college, and i never had to look at my handwritten notes because i just remembered it. types notes i had to actually study (often by just copying them by hand). i was also using computers since i was old enough to understand how to use one.

brains are weird
