8th grade? I had typing lessons in 4th!
Really depends on your age. I self-taught with my mom's typewriter when I was like 8 or 9 and then wasn't officially taught until 8th grade when computers became more commonplace in schools. Then I had to relearn when I went to school for transcription in my 20s because apparently my 8th grade teacher did a bad job.
Love typing though, my first video game was a typing game on a floppy disk on our windows 97.
That's actually so cool. I'm just a bit too young to have done so, but I would have loved to have learned on a typewriter. I've only ever touched one as a fun relic of the past, never for actual use.
