When I was in school in the 1970s, there was much controversy over whether Latin should still be taught in schools. People would argue the same points, that people ought to be able to read ancient Roman literature it its original form. This, in a time, when it was a challenge to get the typical student to read "Huckleberry Finn" or "Call of the Wild."
Needless to say, Latin is all but gone from the schools. I believe it is still taught in some places but not as widespread as it once was.
In business meetings, I notice that most of the under 40 crowd take notes on electronic devices like tablets and laptops. Now voice recognition technology is such that you can dictate your verbal notes to a device for posterity and instant recall. I think that eventually, handwriting itself will be a rare art form, practiced only by eccentrics and hobbyists.
From the public schools.
