[SENco-forum] Handwriting

I agree about handwriting, rather like scratching on cave walls or chalking
on boards. I'm still a bit of a pedant about spelling though, but I think
I'm swimming against the tide!

But, surely, the single most "important" reason pupils need to write is to
inform their teachers and examiners what they know, because most schools are
simply not equipped with enough computers and printers for them to do this
using keyboards?

So, what you are saying Mary is that it's just a matter of time. I think
that it is, with the advance of technology, inevitable that handwriting and
spelling will  be relegated to the list of interests available at evening
classes.
