With the increase in computer use, many people feel that schools do not need to put the emphasis that they used to on basic handwriting skills or mental mathematics skills.

In recent years, computer

As a result

is used increasingly in schools around the

. Many people question

whether schools should put much emphasis on teaching students basic handwriting

and mental mathematics

skills

. The

use

of technological

in lessons has increased since the onset of the digital age. Nearly all professions around the

world

involve computer

and even the simplest tasks are carried out via electronic

equipment

Hence

use

technology correctly for their future careers. Electronic devices

offer various learning advantages, as notes and assignments can be completed much faster and more neatly using these tools.

vital for future careers. For that reason, students have to be taught at early ages how to carry out simple tasks using basic

essential that a

develops neat handwriting, as in the case of a technological problem the

will have to write by hand.

Furthermore

, final exams are typically written by hand and

must develop the basic skill of holding a pen and writing with it. Mathematics

skills

are no different. People will not always have a device with them to carry out calculations and the ability to do arithmetic in the head is a vital skill for operating in today’s

world

. In conclusion, I personally believe that schools should keep a balance between using practical

skills

and using electronic

equipment

to carry out certain tasks by having
