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.):

For "suburbs" read "small city of 40,000 surrounded by rural area, located half an hour from the state capital, and connected to it in the years since by strip malls and housing developments that replaced the cows and corn."

I went to a public school with (in high school) a complete vocational program, but only woodshop, typing, and home ec (including sewing and cooking) were required for the non-vocational populace.
