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.):

College students who don't know cursive? Really? We were actually forced to use cursive from 4th through 6th grades on all our assignments. Those who didn't got their work back ungraded or flunked. By the time middle school was in full swing and I was allowed to write in print again, I was so used to script that it had stuck, and that's how I've been writing ever since.
