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 went to a fine arts school that was very very tiny. We didn't have a shop or a teaching kitchen. By the time I left there and went to another school (grade 10), I already knew how to type and cook and sew, and worked in construction in my father's company. It was recommended that I didn't take woodworking or metalworking, though, since I would be the only girl in the class.

Driving as part of the high school curriculum is just.. odd to me. Even my parents learned how to drive outside of school.
