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.):

Learned cursive in 1st grade and was reminded to write like that until 4th. From then on no one cared what your handwriting was like as long as people could read it. Mostly people ended up switching to a mix of cursive and print or only print or whatever they ended up using to write essays or whatnot in school.

I have to admit I never thought cursive writing was an in any way necessary skill to have.

As for the others, sew and woodworking, none of the other options.
