My kids are in grade 3 and 6 and nobody ever taught them to type. They just handed them a Chromebook and assumed they know what they're doing.
It is a skill, but everybody seems to think it will just happen on its own.
The problem is everyone knows you learn to type when you get on IRC, but you can't put elementary school kids on IRC.
Why not? I was in elementary school on IRC. ASL ;-) ?
I'm sure you turned out fine. But the school district can't put a bunch of kids on IRC, it'll look bad.
