I don't think they teach cursive in school any more as far as I know but at her age I would think she would have learned it. They must blast right through history these days. I am going to be 32 next month and I always felt they didn't go into each chapter in history near enough. Seems it is worse now. My fiancee is 24. The little her, her siblings and my younger sisters know about history blows my mind. I fucking love history and even I don't know enough to settle my cravings for it. I couldn't imagine not knowing the basic stuff like the younger kids and even folks in their twenties today know.
The ones I knew that done ECOT all said they only needed two hours to knock their work out. Just because some one got through school, whether public, private or via homeschooling, doesn't mean they know much. I didn't go to college out of fear I wouldn't make it. Now today I see college graduates with lack of basic math skills,like really basic and just don't seem very bright at all. Some needing pen, paper or a calculator for simple addition. WTF? lol
