2．In this age of cell phones，text messages and computer keyboards，one Scottish school has returned to basics．It's teaching youngsters the ignored art of writing with a fountain pen．There is no clicking of keyboards in most classrooms at the Mary Erskine and Stewart's Melville Junior School，although there is a full range of facilities （设施）for computer lessons and technology isn't being ignored．The private school's headmaster believes the old-fashioned pens have helped strengthen the academic （学术的） performance and self-esteem （自尊）of his 1，200pupils．

Some people in wealthy nations argue that handwriting is becoming less important because of the growing use of cell phone text messaging and typing on computers，but the school disagrees．"We talk of the paperless office and the paperless world，but this is not true，"Lewis said．"You still need to have proper handwriting skills．"
