Yeah, because when I'm looking at the screen instead of at the keyboard I can see the mistakes I'm making (and there's lots, I'm just very fast with the backspace button) and fix them faster than when I'm looking at the keyboard.
We had Keywala Typequick, and it was so much fun that everyone wanted to play it in their 'free time' and get into competitions against each other.
My school had two classrooms when I was there, a K-2 and a 3-6 room. We had 31 kids when I was in year 6, 45 when I was in year 4, and when my sister was in year 5 and 6 in 2002 and 2003 they got down to 17 and 18 kids, which really sucked because the Dept. of Education takes away one of your teachers and one of your buildings when the school drops below 26 kids. They're back up to decent numbers now though, they've actually got a 3-4 class which is amazing for our region. And a comparatively big library, one of those biggish demountable ones.
I went from a 31-kid school in year 6 to a 1050-kid school in year 7 - that was fun. /sarcasm
