Anyone, even someone born in 2007, should know how to use pen and paper. This is a basic component of being an educated person, not knowing how to do that is as shocking as being illiterate.

  Sure. But why are they mailing letters? I remember being 18 myself (a looong time ago), and having a helpful adult shocked that nobody had ever taught me how to write a check. I think I've written a total of 8 in my whole life now?

    If a British 12 year old today were to need to write a cheque, I'd expect they would need to look up or be told how it's done. I wouldn't expect them to need to buy a pen first, or to need several attempts to write 10 words nearly.

      You messed up typing nearly though.
