Patypus101, you are absolutely right as far as typing for people with dysgraphia. However, it is more efficient/practical for many other students (without writing challenges) to make short notations on handouts than to either compile separate notes or scan every page before marking comments with a keyboard and printing. I have fast handwriting and also am a proficient touch-typist and would never limit myself to typing. It is faster and more efficient for DS (both while making notations and for checking/reviewing in the future) to write most of the time in class. He is fast and legible to himself and the teacher, just illegible to many classmates.
