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!
