Hey, I never said I was a pro, lol.
That said, I honestly think it would be best for kids to learn to type, as early as possible, and using that method, would help them develop better typing skills, and fewer typos, with more speed. The QWERTY method, was never an efficient method to begin with (it was designed to sell typewriters, not make better typists), and should have been phased out years ago, only due to laziness is it still the dominant system.
Actually technically QWERTY was designed to make better typists, you just have to keep in mind what made a typist “better” back then. One of the big problems they were facing with the early hammer style typewriters was strikers getting tangles because one striker wasn’t down far enough when a fast typist was hitting the next letter. The solution they came up with was putting the most common letters under the weakest fingers, thus slowing the typist down, thus delaying the next strike, thus keeping the strikers from tangling, thus actually improving their overall speed.
It’s lack of being phased out isn’t a matter of laziness, it’s a matter of having better things to do with our time than relearn typing. We have multiple generations that know QWERTY by touch, there’s really no way to phase it out, you either replace it or you keep it, if you replace it then all the old typists need to relearn from scratch, so we keep it.
