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.):

In middle school, we all had to take chorus, woodworking, home ec and art as our electives one year.

Everyone had to take simple computer programming and typing.

(Home Ec was kind of pathetic. I remember sewing an initial-shaped pillow and making things like grilled cheese sandwiches, not anything actually hard.)
