This is masterful! A recommendation for the education of kids in general based on your personal experience. I'm hereafter speechless and agree with others that the submission did not deserve exposure on HN.

Please list a few professions which still require a high level of penmanship/calligraphy.
Most professions have long since moved from filling out paperwork, to typing. It would make sense to reflect that when we educate our children.
I have a few kids of my own, so this isn't just me imposing my own personal preference, this is me wanting the best for my own children. Having the best chance of getting a good job etc, and learning skills that will be the most use.
Can you imagine the embarrassment of not being able to write a sentence on a piece of paper? The issue is not that everyone needs to have great penmanship, the issue is a basic fundamental skill that we all take for granted precisely because it was taught to us in school.
