I'd be interested to know what American members think about the new rules for many schools and the teaching of "The 3 Ts" (typing, tapping, texting) as opposed to proper longhand writing. Although schools can apparently choose to teach writing too, this is not seen as a priority.

As I understand it, 41 states have now decided to prioritise typing etc. in this way. Given that what happens in the USA all too soon comes to the UK (and other countries), I find this rather worrying. Are we going to end up with a younger generation unable to write (or, if they can, only in primitive capitals)?
