Letter
- Continued from page 2
IMydaughter Jennifer enter-
ed high school last September.
During her first year she has
to take typing as a curriculum
subject. This is compulsory -
there was no option. (Actually.
I believe this is exceptional
and that typing is normally
an optional subject.)
The fact remains that she
has to spend hours a week at
the keyboard of a typewriter,
and if her fingers are not suf-
ficently nimble to pass the
speed test at the end of the
year, she believes it may af-
fect her school career. As it
happens, her marks on all
academic subjects are high,
and I ani quite pleased that
she is learning a useful skill
like *big. But I would like
to Ask this ouestion;

educators that encourages type
