I remember as a teenager, someone told me I didn't have very nice handwriting. I didn't think it was that bad, but I decided to work on it. Now I've been told I have very nice writing, but it took years of work to get it that way. <br /><br />Karen, just the other day I was thinking about how my journal writing has suffered since I started blogging. I usually print all my blogs at the end of the year and put them into a book, but it just isn't the same or as personal as writing in my journal. I become a journal writer again.Stephanie Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553998075443712084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418870747476000878.post-73086506592215039392011-02-17T17:43:13.905-07:002011-02-17T17:43:13.905-07:00I also enjoyed this post.

Except for maybe third and sixth grades, but by then I didn't care. It is important to learn the fine motor skills. I also agree that hand writing allows more expression. Ever since I started blogging my journal has been put on hold, and I miss how personal I can get when I write things down by handKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950287912994627391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418870747476000878.post-2154819958678585862011-02-17T09:28:49.139-07:002011-02-17T09:28:49.139-07:00Totally love this post!

But I still write in my journal by hand and there's something to say about practice. I'm shocked at the conversations you've had with teachers. My daughters are in 2nd and kindergarten and handwriting is very important. The teachers stress holding the pencil correctly and my 2nd grader's handwriting is rivaling my own print. :) Hopefully those teaching methods won't dissolve because I agree they are very important. And on another interesting note--some of the dystopian novels out there focus on this very thing--the death of handwriting. If you've read Uglies or Matched, you'll know what I'm talking about. Sorry for the novel here (told you I type fast) but this is an interesting topic! :)Rachelle Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522589944408062365noreply@blogger.com
