I'm afraid that I still need to think about it. Typing does not come naturally because I'm self-taught.
In my school, only the middle and lower streamed girls were allowed to learn typing. We of the upper forms were expected to do better for ourselves. Boys weren't supposed to type at all. Girls were forbidden to learn woodwork. And, if you were slow but dogged, there was a class for would-be punch-card operatives.
I left school in the mid-1970s. Things have changed for the better, thankfully.
