i too think the same as both should be taught
initially kids should know what they are learning and i prefer hand written initially because it makes kids visualize for themselves what they are doing later as the technology is rapidly changing so keyboard should be used.

no preferance

i would prefer hand writing working
i just feel it's better

This is a lot like what the publishing industry is getting into... would people prefer editing on paper or on screen. I feel like technology is taking over too much.

Editing is one thing writing is another. If I was to proof read it would have to be a type written paper. If I was to write with the intent of being published I would transcribe my writing to digital before submitting. Remember you can always print out text and edit but what publisher would take your hand written work and transcribe it themselves.

Personally I like the way it feels and looks when I write something on paper with a pen. I actually enjoy the way my handwriting looks. As odd as it sounds my handwriting is constantly evolving. If I see someone write a single letter a certain way and I like it I steal it if it works with my style of writing.

As for me I prefer both ways to let the thought out of my head.
But sometimes the sound of knocking buttons of the typewriter leads to creativity and helps to write wonderful things.

For me keyboard or typewriter is better. My hand writing is unreadable.

I would prefer writing with hands.

I like to write using a pencil (which quickly blunts) because I like to hear the scratching noise it makes against the paper. Unfortunately I press too hard.

Father likes me typing (and I can type fast) but I still like to write because my hands get too rigid for piano playing afterwards.

Type Writing is an extremely under rated type of writing, although you can't backspace or rub out, and the keys are a bit shorter. At least you don't have to print it out, or worry about non-neat handwriting huh?

The mistakes are kind of hard to deal with, I always needed a good supply of goof juice.

I think kids should learn both. It's sad that in our school system they don't teach script anymore...collective gasp from anyone who survived Catholic school back in the day...I intend to teach my daughter script. For me script is faster and easier than printing or typing.

I love to write and I think I have a pretty hand, but no one can seem to read it.

Sad.

Yes, my parents learned Palmer method, one at public school, one not. They were different as day and night and yet you could tell they both had the same basic method.

I have to type because my handwriting is terrible. My father studied calligraphy and had a beautiful hand writing. Sometimes after I scribble down notes, I can not even understand them when I have to go back to them.

I hear you there, Gannon. Typing works best for me, my handwriting looks like the rink after a hockey game.
