Another interesting trend in education is that some schools are removing cursive writing from their curriculum. What will happen if kids do not learn to write by hand and all the work they do is via computer?

We have nephews in Denver and they do not take writing in school, have no idea how to write. They can print but not write.

Both my kids are/did writing in school. Both enjoyed it.
