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.):

The largest community I lived in when I was school age was around 60,000, and it was the largest population center in the area-so rural.(Smallest community, maybe 40 houses, one street.)I thought everyone had fields,livestock, horses, and wild animals nearby.

No one had a problem with me taking Home
Ec.- I just wasn't very good at sewing, and we didn't get to real cooking when I took it.

My ten years older sister had to take Home Ec. INSTEAD of Shop, despite her off the charts aptitude for mechanics.

Oh. Took Drivers Ed. That's how I know that I'm too dyslexic to drive a car.(There have been more recent attempts. Argh.)
