The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalised approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.
I think both have their ups and downs. But especially for spelling. It’s really good if you’ve written by hand in the past. Because lets be honest, who gives a fuck about spelling when typing on a keyboard? The computer will tell you whether you made a typo anyway. And this goes especially for English speakers, as English spelling sucks. I keep saying “wetnessday” in my head every single time I wrote “wednesday”. On a tablet, you’re just gonna make this mistake so frequently that the device won’t bother and instantly correct your mistake. Though at least when it comes to spelling, this mostly goes for languages which either have stupid spelling systems (English) or languages whose orthography is just utterly complex and got many exceptions (German). Spanish spelling is so easy that I don’t know what you’re supposed to do wrong (given that you exactly know how a word is pronounced)
