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.):

Haha, I see I'm the geezer so far. I love that ;) I too forgot that there was a sewing class in my distant past...part of a home ec class I was required to take in a rural high school I attended for 2 years. I think there was also cooking but it was dismal horrible cooking I laughed at - my parents were rocking awesome gourmets and cooking is something I learned to do well, at home, long before 9th grade. Lastly, cursive was something we learned in first and second grade, if memory serves, along with things like reading in the first and times tables in the second.
