Read the following passage from the article:

What writing style do you use when you jot a surreptitious note in class? Do you print out the letters to form the words and sentences, or do you go with the flow of cursive writing with all the squiggles and loop de loops? Or do you consider composing on anything but a keyboard to be too uncool for school?

Why did the author include this information?

To convince readers that cursive writing is more in fashion than printing

To suggest that students should not pass private notes during class time
To emphasize that proper letter formation is critical to good handwriting
