Yes -- DS11 had an assignment yesterday to write the quadratic formula ten times and then memorize it to a song. (Oddly, because the class has not been silly up to this point, but I think they're marking time since next week is the end of classes.)
He wanted to copy/paste it, and I had to fight him to get him to write it down -- we settled on five times and a copy/paste of that, because he knows it in his sleep already, but then he spent ten minutes making a text animation of it in AfterEffects.
I had a government teacher who punished tardies and absences by making the student write the chapter (it could be typed). After the only time I ever *had* to do that, I did it for every chapter on my own because it was the best studying there was! Once I wrote it down, even typing it, it was in my brain.
