1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: If you're listening to the Jonesy and Demander.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: Podcast, does it pass the pub test?

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 3: Handwriting skills for kids are dropping off and doesn't matter.

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 3: That's what we're asking you today. There are absolute benefits

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 3: to it. Typing, yes, we know, is faster and more convenient,

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 3: but handwriting engages a broader group of the brain and

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 3: broad a group of brain regions, So it improves your memory,

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 3: your attention when you're learning, and there's a certain it

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: slows your brain down, so when you're handwriting, it's more

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 3: calming that he's typing something out.

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: I looked at my son, My youngest son recently left

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 4: a note on the kitchen bench, and I dug up

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 4: his old schoolwork from when he was eight years of age.

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: His writing hasn't changed. He writes like a serial killer.

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: And don't you tiny bits of letters cut out from

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: the newspaper a ransom note.

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: That's a kidnapper.

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: But don't you feel for teachers who have to mark

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: all that stuff? Having said that, what are we losing

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: by not getting kids to learn more at school? It's

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: a learned skill.

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: Or do we just sound like a bunch of old kuts?

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 3: What do you think handwriting does it pass the pub test?

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it passed the pup test. At some

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: point they may have to write.

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: A note and you would hope someone would be able.

27
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: To read it. I think it's a skill that you

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: always going to need and should have.

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 5: Absolutely all the kids should learn how to dear handwriting.

Speaker 3: They normal and curfive.

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,840

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: of writing lessons is actually plot.

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 5: You calm down, Yeah, I learned running writing or coercive

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 5: or each of the running, writing and printing.

35
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: Absolutely a past of the pub test. How else can

00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: you tell if somebody is fun enough to be a

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: doctor or not. The worst of writing the highest skills

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: your doctor has.

39
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but doctors write terribly.

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,920
