Keyboarding skills are best taught in grade school. Kids in the 5th and 6th grade are using computers to compose, edit and print both creative writing and research papers. I required at least one significant typed project per quarter from my 6th graders, and more from the junior high kids. Freshmen who enter with weak keyboarding skills are at a distinct disadvantage academically. If you'd ever watched an 8th grader spend literally hours getting a 2 page paper formatted, typed and printed you'd know what I mean. Like it or not, handwritten work beyond elementary school is soon to be a thing of the past. At the school my son just graduated from, handwritten papers are automatically demoted 1 full grade. This is becoming the norm. If not in elementary school, when should they learn?
