<div>I never took typing in school. Later I tried to use
"Mavis Beaves teaches typing", didn't work. I have been

Enter the desk-top computer. Now I spend most of my
time staring at a screen typing on a keyboard.

<div dir="ltr">In 1990, when I graduated HS, if you
were going to graduate and be "college bound", you
had to take a typing class. It was Sr. year and it
was "Health" one semester, "Typing" the next or vice
versa.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
If you were "Vo-Tech" typing was an option, but
"Health" was still mandatory. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Same teacher taught both classes. One of the most
bitter and angry people I have ever met. <br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The though of "Health" class taught by an angry,
frigid, humorless 60 year old woman still makes me
wonder. I guess if you had to manage the subject
matter with a bunch of teenagers, many of whom were
headed nowhere, after a few years, you would end up
like that too.<br clear="none">

Typing was one of the most valuable skills I ever
learned. <br clear="none">

My kids all had typing classes in public schools in
1st and 2nd grade post 2010. <br clear="none">

I didn't take typing in high school because I didn't
want to be pigeonholed as a secretary. In early
years I went in to interview for a technical
position with a degree in electronics & almost
always was asked what my typing speed was. When I
mentioned about a page ever 2 hours or so, I got
interviewed for the job I was applying for. I knew a
woman with a Stanford masters in physics who in the
mid 60s worked as a tech group secretary.<br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
During college when I needed to submit typed papers,
I traded typing for either a homemade apple pie or a
ready to bake homemade lasagna. I single space
between sentences only on emails. That is because my
mailer produces strange characters when I double
space a sentence. The books I have authored are all
double spaced between sentences and my reviewers
have forced me to use oxford comas. They are not
used in technical papers.<br clear="none">
