View submission: Too many screens in early education
I insist on my 2nd grade students writing, reading, cutting, coloring, drawing, braiding, and building. My classroom is loud, busy, and engaging.

Well done!
It's not just about dressing and writing. Children need to use their hands and minds to gain skills.
Fine motor skills is not just about writing, it helps develop the brain, coordination and sensory integration.
Children need to make sense of the world and to integrate with the world.

I thought I replied to you but now I’m not sure where it went so I apologize if this double posted but
My 2nd grader has horrible handwriting, we just had parent teacher conferences & I said we’re also working with him at home on it & his teacher was like meh don’t bother they use electronics more so than write nowadays. I was shocked & was like well even if that’s the case I want his handwriting to improve. His teacher was like think about how drs have notoriously bad handwriting, it’s really not worth practicing. I will still be practicing with him at home bc I think that’s ridiculous & writing legibly without inserting random capital letters is important
