That isn't how it works & I would contend that penmanship isn't an obsolete skill .. as evidenced by the fact that the very school who cut it is asking for it.
Worse .. they are not teaching more of the other skills. What they do is teach down to the lowest denominator. The truth is that now:
Regular Classes = Borderline special education
AP Classes = The former regular classes.
