Typing class back in the 20th century is nothing like this product which is easy to use and motivating.

My Take

I am old enough to remember taking typing class with actual typewriters with actual ribbon and actual paper. Typing practice back then was laborious and awful. Typing Club is far superior for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I notice errors because they turn red during the practice. This makes me backspace, slow down, and move ahead. Secondly, I get excellent data that motivates. I see my WPM and my accuracy rate. I can also see which keys are problematic for me. I find this motivating. Many students also find this motivating because they want to try again to get a better score. For a free program, this is amazing. My son in elementary school also used this program and LOVED it because he is a gamer. He loved trying to best he previous score and gleefully showed me his class list when he was at the top. Truthfully, I like using it for trying to break my habit of hitting the space bar after a period. Old typing habits die hard.
