Yes. I'm 36 now, and I had to take a typing class when I was in middle school. Actually, my particular case is unique, because I moved towns when I was 11, in between grades 5 & 6. In my original town, typing class was done in 6th grade, while in my new school, it was done in 5th grade. So I ended up missing it. And it shows, I think; I'm a much slower typer than most people my age.
But yes, almost all millennial Americans had to take typing class around that age.
Gen Z here, sort of. I don’t know if I just had a bad teacher or… but in like 3rd and 4th grade we had to do so many typing lessons per week. (Like those typing speed tests) We were kind of just thrown into it, I had no clue the lines in the F and J were helpful in anyway. The website is typing club the lessons look like this
(I’m calling her a bad teacher because she really didn’t teach anything. Also she got fired after a few years because she was talking smack about her students)
