If I knew I would later like Russia the way I like them now, I would have paid more attention to Shorthand back in those days in Business Studies classes.

Was wondering if schools still have shorthand in their curriculum..
Also do people still use it for administrative purposes considering the fact that one could use a phone to record a conversation and then later on use it.
For those who learnt it in school, can you read shorthand notes?

The only good thing about this subject was that the teacher was very beautiful. I never looked at the blackboard. My eyes were fixed on her without listening to anything she was saying.

So students can really get distracted when the teacher is maybe attractive? Hmmmn!

I served in a secondary school in Ekiti, Ado precisely. My principal always complained about my dressing. Mind you, I don't dress seductively, only smart office-like gowns, shirts and trousers etc. It's funny but he would always complain about my derriere. Thinking back, I think it wasn't the students he was concerned about. He didn't trust himself to stay in line ni, He made a move later which I declined. Men and bum bum grin grin

The principal was not alone in being carried away by your attractive figure. All the virile male students were also involved. We can't help it.

Haha business studies, learnt only the very basics. I also carried typewriter to school that portable one.

Mum actually went to Pitman college London in the late 70s, she was/is so prolific in this stuff, she also typed fast, learnt my first typing from her typewriter.

It was so essential to being a confidential secretary back then but grin laslas she also learnt computer with us

Typing class is never a waste. It makes you faster when using a computer
Ekpekus:

One of the subject that was not contributory to the future. Same class as type writing.
