<div>I never took typing in school. Later I tried to use "Mavis

<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">
<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">

Time and technology change everything. <br clear="none">

I wish I could learn to type on a phone and manage the
"autocorrect", that would be something.<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">
