The typing class I took was by far the best, most useful class I had in four years of high school—and the only one where I could not have learned the material better by simply being left alone in a quiet room with the textbook. (Although being left alone with a computer and a decent learn-to-type program would probably have done just as well; but this was 1994 and my school had typewriters, not computers, so the teacher was actually useful.)

Seconded, typing class was by far the best, most useful class in all of my years of schooling. I took it in 6th grade.
