A friend teaches handwriting as a vehicle for personal transformation:

Her newsletter mentioned two articles that support the case for improved learning via hand writing. Here's a quote from one of them:

"... typing may be a fast and efficient alternative to longhand, but that very efficiency may diminish our ability to process new information.":

Waldorf schools have said as much over twenty-five years ago. It is one of many reasons I'm so grateful I attended Rudolf Steiner College in 1990-92.
