Do most elementary schools teach the kids how to type?

I know that the kids are introduced to the internet, but are they actually taught typing or do the kids just have to manage with 2 finger typing, learning on their own, etc. Back in the olden days, most kids didn’t learn to type til jr hi or hi school or even college.

I went to public school here in LA county.. class of ’03. We were definitely not taught typing in elementary, as it’s kind of a tedious thing, and I’m certain most elementary school kids wouldn’t be too thrilled about it. It wasn’t offered in my middle school either, but I did take it in high school, and I can honestly say it’s helped me tremendously. :o) I’d imagine high school is mainly where they teach typing.

Here in MS, kids are required to take a typing course (Computer Discovery) in the eighth grade. We learn a bit of typing in elementary school, but that time is usually just reserved for getting acquainted with the computer.

I am pretty sure that typing is taught in most elementary schools. I remember being taught typing in second grade. Very good typing program. I would think its widely taught in elementary schools since computers are pretty much part of life these days.

i believe that sexual awareness must be a larger component of the yank college gadget. even with each little thing, isn’t sexuality the oldest human habit, yet it is the main taboo difficulty you should advance. i’m no longer asserting that we ought to continuously bypass out the Kamasutra as component of the required books to study, yet for heavens sake, instruct those teenagers what they are going to stand while puberty hits. the sensation the have all by using them selves, the sensation they share with yet another and the consequences of ‘transforming into an person’ too quickly. Sorry if I offend absolutely everyone right here, yet teen being pregnant and homo-sexuality exist, no remember if the Bible, the government or society needs them to be or no longer. it truly is time that we make human beings conscious, in the past they alter into decide psychological, and there by using sexual hypocrites.

Schools around here do, but usually not until 4th grade. Students younger than that do not have the finger strength or control to make the task of learning how to type worthwhile.

In NC, it’s a middle school thing. You have to take a computer class to graduate from middle school.
