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 learned cursive, with a fountain pen. I'm left-handed. It didn't go well - every afternoon I went home smeared with royal blue. And I was told over and over that I'd never get anywhere without neat handwriting. Pff.

My school was a suburban Anglican day school, we didn't have any classes in woodwork or electronics or anything like that. Pity, because I would have enjoyed electronics.
