- Why have you decided to enroll in a keyboarding class?
- You should have a well considered answer for this question.
- Most students reply that they have enrolled for the purpose
- of developing a keying skill that could be applied to their
- personal needs. Personal use keying includes the keying of
- personal letters, reports, and the like. There is evidence
- that most students who key their school work receive higher
- grades than do students who use handwriting. The next most
- stated reason for having enrolled in a keyboarding class is
- the knowledge that most office jobs do require keyboarding.
- There is one certainty--few keyboarders have regretted
- the time they spent learning to key data. Yet, many, many,
- people have expressed their regret that they did not take a
- keyboarding class when offered the opportunity. All of the
- uses that one may have in later life for a keying skill are
- not apparent to the keyboard student who is usually of high
- school age. The teacher, the housewife, the President--all
- of these people realize the value of being able to keyboard
- on a computer. A point of possible interest to you is that
- once a keyboarding skill is learned, it is never forgotten.
