About This Quote

"Any fool can write" is a phrase that is popular in England, but it has been said in U.S. schools for decades. There is a belief that children can be taught to write by the time they are three years old. In the late 1800s, many schools began teaching writing to very young children.

This was most likely a reaction to the rise of the phonograph. In fact, any child who had a toy phonograph was able to make their own recordings and send them to friends for free, which was a real threat to the livelihood of professional musicians at the time.
