do they teach typing in schools? they should definitely teach typing instead of fucking cursive
it is a shockingly simple skill to teach
you young ones stay off my lawn
@Undead Mockingbird they also teach typing lol
@Unwound All schools teach typing.
but I at least have to *read* cursive every day
in a normal modern country
Is this a black thing again?
the best way to learn to read cursive is to learn to write it lol.
not my public school 🤔 was quite a bit back though
Honestly, Im surprised at the amount of people who can't read cursive
I like cursive. I don't wanna lose it. ;-;
plenty of more useful things to learn
Are they removing it because black people have more trouble with it?
@Unwound basically every public school here since the '70s has taught typing.
oh wow, good tbh.
cursive is a more basic skill than touch typing though
Maybe if they remove cursive, they can add anal sex morality 101 to their curriculum
and I know that I learned to touch type for real only when I actually tried
I had to pop in that mavis beacon cd into my windows xp machine and just type out that shit and get gud
well
I learned how to type neckbearding mmorpgs as a teenager
lol
very very few people follow the touch typing skills as they should be used
generally teaching anything as well, to be fair.
I heard on Colin Flaherty's channel that there was some affirmative action reason for them removing it or something.
I mean I learned typing from selling shit on runescape back in the day. hard to break old habbits 😉
100%
old school rpgs are the real typing class
@Unwound my mother was trained classically in touch typing, but she absolutely _smacks_ the keys
and her form is terrible
speed is OK though
man I NEVER use my left pinky
Maybe because she used a typewriter.
I use my pinkie for ctrl
thats it lol
lol but why though
doesnt count lol
Anyway
the way I learned to touch type was by
a) being bored
and b) switching my keyboard to dvorak and forcing myself to use the correct motions
