I found a couple of news about our new national school curriculum. Finland dumps handwriting in favor of typing (23 November 2014, I Programmer). BBC also had a fantastic headline about this: Finland: Typing takes over as handwriting lessons end. Well...
Our kids still need to use pencil and paper after year 2016. They just don't need to have the skill of cursive handwriting.
Three of my kids have learned it. Youngest of them was afraid that teacher doesn't teach her those beautiful letters. I promised to her that if teacher doesn't, I will.
She was the happiest girl in the autumn, when she got an empty cursive handwriting book.
Instead of cursive handwriting, rest of our kids will learn texting and typing. I hope that boys won't be sad about it.
