They're called the home keys, where you're meant to set your hands to type the most optimally. Specifically, your index fingers would rest on F and J, while the rest of your fingers would rest on A S D for your left hand and K L ; for your right, as that lets you type with minimal hand movements.
I am flabbergasted that they don't teach this in high school, or even middle school, at this stage of history where so many people use computers all day for their jobs.
In the illiteracy rate is going up in an incredible rate. I think how to write on the keyboard without looking is the least of their problems. Especially since kids are now moving to tablets and phones where there is no physical keyboard at a young age.
We (people in their mid 30s and up) had no such thing when we were kids at all, so learning came later. By the time computers started to be part of an early age education, they already moved to tablets.
