random poll

[rm]

Super busy. Am suddenly curious about this. Apparently most kids entering college in the US this year don't know how to write in cursive. I suspect this is less a sign of the apocalypse than it feels like to me.

So, tell me things (as usual, poll is un-scientific and reflects my biases and experiences (and 49-year-olds can choose which age category they like better!) -- if the boxes don't work, my apologies and comments super welcome.):

Just to clarify I LEARNED to cook from my parents, elder brothers, grandmother, and our maid. I was required to take classes in school that involved cooking.

Same here. Actually, I ended up *teaching* cooking in HS, because I knew how to stir-fry and in suburban New England in 1972 this was a rare skill.

Yup, same for me.
