^ By far that's the most useful class I took in high school.

Ah, yes! My Jr. High homeroom for all of 7th to 9th grade, was a typing class room. Bored teenage boys would launch M&Ms on the strikers. My ex, was in my homeroom all those years.

I never got good at typing and I think I maxed out at 45 wpm when I had to take it.

My high school offered two programs, academic for those of us going to college and commercial for those who weren't. About 90% of us were in the academic program and about 10% in the commercial program. For the boys in the commercial program they taught skills like woodworking, auto mechanics and electricity and for the girls secretarial skills. In my senior year they offered a program for those of us in the academic program titled "Typing for seniors" because we'd need to know how to type for college. The course was oversubscribed so they put about 10 of us boys into a girls commercial typing class.

We were very excited. We'd heard that the girls in the commercial program were easy. Much to our surprise and disappointment, it turned out they weren't. Nonetheless, the 10 of us pooled our money and bought a package of erasable bond typing paper. Each one of us used one sheet a week. At the end of each class, we erase the days typing and use the same sheet the next day. The teacher didn't care because unlike the girls we weren't getting graded, just pass/fail.

I learned a lot of things in that class, and I learned how to type.
