Study correlates neat handwriting with academic success</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>At least that’s what elementary school teachers believe. Just when we thought that our schools were finally catching up with their students by teaching keyboarding instead of old-fashioned handwriting, <A href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/67956?GT1=10547"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#4C2387">a </FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#4C2387">Newsweek</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#4C2387"> report</FONT></A> reveals that most teachers actually think kids who can copy out their letters in a big, round hand “produced written assignments that were superior in quantity and quality and resulted in higher grades – aside from being easier to read.”</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>... this glorification of handwriting is just another example of the growing disconnect between education and the needs of actual writers, and I’m not just saying this because my own handwriting is illegible. It made sense for 19th-century American schools to push handwriting as an essential skill because legible handwriting was necessary to secure an office job. The schools weren’t aiming very high if their goal was to prepare children for a life of clerking, but that’s apparently why they also taught such “essential” critical-thinking skills as alphabetizing and coloring inside the lines to third-graders like me back in 1952. ...</DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="2"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Keep reading ...</SPAN></FONT><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"> <A href="www.uiuc.edu/goto/weboflanguage"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><A href="www.uiuc.edu/goto/weboflanguage">g</A>o to the Web of Language</SPAN></FONT></A><BR><BR></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.uiuc.edu/goto/weboflanguage">www.uiuc.edu/goto/weboflanguage</A><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
