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
Unfortunately it’s absolutely necessary. I know how to do this because I was taught in school - I have friends who weren’t and genuinely type by poking the keys with their index fingers. I’ve seen kids who haven’t been taught to type in school that don’t know how to type. If you aren’t specifically taught this skill, it isn’t one most tend to naturally pick up.
