Reminds me when typing was a girls class and shop a boys. I wanted to learn typing (besides, a girl I liked took it) ... and the teacher said NO, girls only, so asked the principal and he said yes - glad a boy was wanting it, Yup, took Home Ec too, but did get kicked out of that one.
Anyway, I was the worst typist in the entire class, kept type-over no matter how many times teach said NO ... couldn't quite get it. And, really tried, just couldn't get there ... slow, type-overs, missed punctuation - blah!!
So, at the end of the term, the teacher comes up and she says, "I'm gonna pass you with a "D", because I'm the only typing teacher here and if I fail you, I gotta take you over again. But if I pass you, gotta promise me you won't take Typing TWO ... "
And end of story, passed, no return. But, interestingly, learned to type with all fingers regardless, and have since honed those skills and can type pretty fast now. Who woudda thunk it? :)
