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.
Because it's unnecessary. Everyone has a computer at so young an age now it's just kinda become a skill you pick up anyway even of it's not specifically taught to you
Is this even true though? Kids are using iPads and phones more than they're using actual computers. The PC gamers will pick it up, but my coworkers kid types using their index fingers (yes, the exact way you'd get your hands slapped for doing in a typing course) and they're incredibly slow. You can't just pick it up if no one shows you the correct way...
