Handwriting is still taught in the elementary schools in my country and I think it a good thing that the subject is still taught in schools which still helps to improve the writing skills of the pupils and students. No matter how much we use the phone and computer to type,we still use more of your hands to scribble words.The children at school still write the notes into their exercise books with their hands,all class and home work are hand written,exams are hand written and even some things that needs to be written outside the school need to be hand written.So you see hand written things are more than the computerised ones and moreover most schools over here aren't computerised and as such everything is done manually. So with all these it is pertinent that a child should be taught how to write properly.
