It’s nice to see your concern, thank you. I too am concerned- my daughter’s elementary school has displaced handwriting with keyboarding. Many kids cannot write a grocery list by the end of 3rd grade. This increases our kids need to use smartphones if they cannot learn and retain the ability to write.
Not to mention the dependence on technology that is cultivated for physical harm to the body- ergonomics and text neck etc…
