I cannot remember the last time I saw a business report or other
publication that was handwritten. Come to think of it, not many web
pages, powerpoint presentation or letters either. Handwriting is for
birthday cards, not work or study. Students who cannot undertake basic
word processing skills will be at a significant disadvantage for the
rest of their working lives.

It is a fact that students, especially the relatively weaker ones, who
word process their coursework are MUCH more likely to re-draft and
improve work than those that hand write it. It is a simple case of
having to start again if you have handwritten it. Therefore they get
better grades, which in these enlightened days seems to be all that
matters!
I also have terrible handwriting!
