I took typing in the 8th grade. For those of you who don't even know what a typewriter is (they're relics now), we learned to type on manual typewriters (not even electric) with the keys covered up! I remember the teacher was one of the football/basketball coaches! Hehehe!!! But it was a half year course, and it worked. I think that my typing class occured in 1975, believe it or not! And I am so grateful that it did. I have used my typing skills over the years with work and now for fun on the computer!

My daughter is 11. She has the opportunity to take "keyboarding" in school, but isn't choosing to so far. But, my mom sat her down one day, showed her the proper way to type and I will admit, she's pretty accurate and pretty good. Scott, on the other hand, is a "hunter and pecker" and makes LOTS of mistakes when he types. I have learned to decipher his messages pretty well now.
