Popular Post DevilsRollTheDice Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Why are people dragging her? Typing classes have been phased out of high schools all over the country. She clearly means that she didn't learn the "correct" way. 6 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't do it either! came here to say this. 1998-current babies in school typing, writing cursive, sending letters, cooking, financial planning, etc aren't a thing to teach anymore. 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyHurts Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 But she's literally right? The whole "how to type properly" thing was more for boomers, gen x and millennials. I was born in 1997 and I never really learned about typing properly but I remember it was something my older family members learned how to do 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLΔCKP!NK Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Why would she lie about something like that? Instead of looking at something critically twitter just runs to drag so this is nothing new. im also tired of people saying things like "well im a day younger than you and _____" lmao like okay? you're an exception not the example.

Khal Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Why is she saying it like it's something that's too late? It's literally just finger placements and practice, you can still learn it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Jinyoung Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 And she was homeschooled so whose fault is that lol No but seriously, my nephew literally has been taking coding class since first grade and at no point did they bother to teach him to to type properly or basic things like how to print something, create a word document, save and search a file or how to google things efficiently. I had to teach him all of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitch Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I mean maybe you're not taught typing in school anymore, but if you go to university or get an office job you'll be typing most days. It's not as if typing at a computer or a laptop is some antiquated tradition... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nostalgic Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I remember being so proud of myself when I finally mastered typing without looking in school. It's so freeing and time saving that you really have to feel bad if someone can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor Moon Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Wait did schools have typing classes? I thought it's something that you can just learn by yourself .. it just takes time Edited April 25 by Sailor Moon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I don't know how to properly type. And I basically type documents for a living. I have to look at the keyboard and find every letter. We were technically taught how to type properly in grade school through a program called Type to Learn. But, at the time, I did not realize how important of a skill typing would be so I cheated in the program and never learned. Oops. I could still learn if I just took the time, but I have yet to do so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCarpet Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Maybe she meant like she can't type on the physical keyboard, computer one. Maybe she only texts on smartphone like most of gen z do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would seem more likely there would be a computer at home. Like it's strange Finneas learned what he knows to produce and write, but she was in a corner learning what?

I was in 3rd grade learning how to type in school and in after school programs, that was 98-99. By 5th grade I was almost too skilled at it. Granted I was in accelerated classes & skipped a school grade, but it was definitely there and accessible by 1997 and on. We would have those typing Mavis Beacon series, speed games and there were tons and tons of typing games ranging from kid friendly to more mature that blossomed in the early 2000s. I would actually say Boomers & Gen X were at a disadvantage because there wasn't a ton of focus on learning to type when they started getting computers in offices/schools. There was a curve before it became the norm. Edited April 25 by Rico Shameless v2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
