Back when I was in high school, I already knew I wanted to go in to computers. 
Learning to type would be a big benefit.  My school had Typing classes but they
were geared toward secretaries - so even the first class probably wouldn't have
been too useful for me.

But they had a special class called "Personal Typing" which was geared toward
those of us who needed to know how to type, but would not be secretaries.

We need more classes like that but in other subjects.  Accounting.  Economics.

Side note:
With all the practice that I got programming through high school, by the end of
my senior year, I could out-type the ladies in the regular Typing classes.
