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.):

They wouldn't even let you in to take the test without doing it. I have no idea what it was meant to prove. It seems like one's real handwriting would carry more weight if they ever wound up asking "did you or did you not write this?" I know what I wrote looked very little like my ordinary writing and a lot like I'd sent an eight-year-old in to take the exam for me.
