Handwriting is too important to be neglected! yes; I think they use handwriting to help rehabilitate stroke patients. the nuero-plasticity of the brain thing. Pennmanship is neurologically based - there are no two people on earth who have the same handwriting (a long story...). this why they probably they are fearful of it. > A journalist reported more than 3 years ago that a primary school > which is located at the end of a route of circa 5.5 miles (according > to > HTTPS://WWW.ViaMichelin.com > ) from me stopped using books!

Last time I went to school every person could go to the library and rent/download the books. they got pissed off at me again. If I am on the bus; why not study for class? Waiting 2 hours to get to the library to study is assinine. The ebook revolution has happend.
