I’m ah thinking ah that back in highschool being the only boy in a sea of girls wouldn’t have bothered me much. Don’t know if I’d have learned anything…

I also took typing in high school, with the ratio of boys to girls lets just say my odds were very good...... still only type with two fingers...

Lol!

My high school required typing classes for both boys and girls. This was mid-1970s. Good thing, because they make you type all your papers in college. Only they didn’t tell us why we had to to take it.

If they had, I might have got off to a better start. I had a mental block about learning typing. I had a horror of becoming a secretary. I thought it sounded like a terrible job. So... mental block. Good thing family clued me in, because as soon as I found out I needed it for college, I sailed right along to 60 words per minute. Mrs. Jones was a great teacher and I’ll always be grateful to her.

Now I guess kids can type before they learn to write.
