Well, I don't know what to say. I didn't have any trouble "unlearning"
hunt-and-peck when I first took a typing course at age 15. OTOH, I do
usually feel that something learned wrong is a bad idea, for just the
same "unlearning" reason that you mention. Anyway, I guess if my kids
had a teacher who wanted to teach them keyboarding, that would be fine
with me. Maybe, after reading what you write, I should say it would be
great? But I do know that I am not about to add "teachng my
kids keyboarding" to my list of "do at home" chores.
