What are you even talking about? It’s normal for young students to be using a pencil to write for multiple hours in a day in school.

With breaks, and it's also normal that in a class of ~30 you'll still find a couple students with cramps.

A good exam also has breaks between writing because you need them to think about what you are going to write. An exam that is just about writing down words as fast as you can is going to suck whether that's handwritten or with a keyboard.

Won’t someone think about the students who get cramps from typing on keyboards as well??
