random poll

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.):

I learned cursive, typing, cooking, sewing, and wood working in a typical classroom environment. Drivers ed was taught in a regular classroom at my high school, but it was taught after school and I had to pay an extra fee to take it, so I didn't count that one.

I'm a 31 year old college freshman. I didn't know kids weren't still being taught cursive. That may explain the odd looks my handwriting gets.
