Learned all that in HS before the schools went woke and the freaks began to teach. Plus, all of my teachers were older, like grand parents. They don't even teach cursive anymore. When my son was in kindergarten, his teacher asked me to tell him to not write in cursive. I said why not? She said we don't teach it. I exploded and said, how the hell are they supposed to sign a contract, etc. She said they'll print their name. Nope, took him out of school and home schooled him

Yes! Just like they did in the "olden" days... when I was growing up! I taught our daughter many of those skills, and she would be the ONLY one in her class who knew how to do 'things!'

One of the biggest shocks to her classmates was that she could actually read a copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution--- I taught her cursive! I used to tell her those who can not read original copies, could be lied to about what it says-- and she concluded the inability of her generation to be taught cursive was so they would be clueless!

+ what is true justice!

Yes, but then [they] would lose control.

Absolutely! Also, basic first aid. When my girls were growing up they learned a lot on the farm here, I made sure they helped and learned. Lol, even made them learn stick shift (floor & column.) I used to tell them that you never know what tough times you might face someday, better to know how to do something, and never need it, than to need to do something & haven't a clue or courage & confidence to do it if they need to. They do the same with their kids.
