I took typing in High School. Best I could ever get to was 35 words per minute.
Speed burner! I was lucky to hit the big 3-0 per minute on occasion.
I took summer school all 4 years in HS. Relaxed environment, didn't have anything else going on from 8 to noon. The only academic course I took was American History. The rest included typing, bowling, coed cooking, a couple others that I can't recall...hey, it was from 68-72...lol.
Typing was one of the most useful classes I took.
