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.):

My youngest stepson can neither write nor read cursive, and in fact still has inferior handwriting overall for his age (I have my theories on why this is). I write in partial cursive much of the time, and I don't adjust for him if I write him notes in the hope that he'll at least be able to read it in the future.
