I took typing in the 7th or 8th grade. It's probably one of the few things I  
can say i really benefitted from in school. for HS I only went for 2 years and 
I was in a program where I took "technical college" courses for hs credit.  
Well i guess I benefitted from that because I had some great history teachers over there.
  
Anyways, I learned on electric typewriters. It was a great way to get a rhythm. To pass the class you had to go 1 on one with the teacher and beat her which
was pretty fun.  
  
I was about 120wpm.  Now, I'm nowhere near that but I can ramp it up; my
accuracy is what has suffered.  
 
I tried to teach my son how to  type and also got him those mavis beacon 
program.  He never liked it and he's now a hunt and peck typist.
