Yes, I did take typing, in High School. I took it in summer school, two summers, back to back. The typing teacher was also my Latin teacher. Also the mother of my girlfriend at the time, Simone. I was ... motivated to do well in class, at least well enough to avoid the ire if not the notice of the teacher. I succeeded.
That typing class was easily the most directly useful class I ever had in high school. Arithmetic and reading are more useful, but came before high school. Writing coherently would be the closest second place class (Thank you Mrs Krecji!). I learned a lot in a schedule much like SD's, exchanging Latin for French (even the Latin was useful), but we only had a seven period day, and I ended the day with sports (swimming and water polo, and I was on the pep squad). I kept busy.
Oh yeah, typing. Took it, endured it, make money from it every day now. Thanks Mrs Leonard.
