Just what DO they teach in schools these days??

I think they teach keyboarding, which is a fancy term for what they called in my day "Typing".

How many of us old guys ever write in cursive? I know that I sometimes curse in my writing, but I can't remember the last time I ever wrote in cursive or a situation where it would be necessary to write in cursive.

Perhaps it is a good thing that this "technology" is being dropped?
