My mother also made me take a typing class in high school (circa 1969). I was the only guy in the class and pretty self conscious most of the time. All things considered, typing/keyboarding was, by far, the most useful manual skill I ever learned.
My Mom was a medical transcriptionist and court reporter, and taught me to type when I was 8. Without a doubt, it made my life easier in high school, college, and the business world.
