    Studies that don’t control well for gender and income desparity can show effects somewhat like he describes here.

    Richer students have more time and help with homework, and are therefore often better handwriters. Similarly, girls get into university at higher rates while also having better handwriting.

    It’s all unrelated to the actual skill of handwriting, but it’s the perfect half truth / whole lie for boomer losers who want to pass a “kid’s these days” bill.
