Without a shadow of a doubt the single most useful class I ever took in school at any level, was TOUCH TYPING in Junior High. A room full of big old mechanical manual typewriters. Endless seemingly silly exercises.

At the time, my thinking was that it would be useful later for writing term papers and such. I of course had not an inkling that I would essentially spend my entire career chained to terminal and computer keyboards.

@lauren I’m happy I took typing in high school circa 1970. It has served me well over the decades.
