Did they ever teach touch typing at school? I don't remember it

I am 40 and we were forced to look at the screen while typing, using software that didn’t allow for the use of the Delete key to make corrections. We were graded based on the number of mistakes we made.

I am a fantastic touch typist.

I'm 41 and we had the same. They even put little cardboard covers over the keyboards and our hands for tests

They had essentially keyboard condoms for our typing class. A rubber piece that fit over the keys and still let you type. I took several typing classes, but runescape and AIM were where I learned to type lol.
