“(One of my most valuable classes, along with Personal Typing, for the future.)”

My son did four years of Latin in 7th - 10th grade. It helped in science, biology, English and Spanish. In High School Spanish class he said he never even did the homework and he got A’s.

Oh - and mom made him take “keyboarding” or whatever it was called. He thought it was so stupid (as did I 45 years ago when my mom made ME take it.) Probably the most practical class my son or I ever took.

Absolutely. I don’t have a college degree, so what got me in the door at some top companies (GE, Corning, etc.) was my 110 WPM. Then I quickly moved up up up.
