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.):

I was told that if I didn't learn cursive in elementary school I would never be able to pursue higher education and would probably drown in my own ineptitude during junior high before dropping out to a life of hard drugs and/or petty crime.

So I learned cursive. I still think they're full of shit.

*highfives you* We clearly had similar teachers. Hope they're loving the computer age, the old harpies.
