We have started teaching our kids (6 & 10) to type this year and DH really wanted to start them straight onto DVORAK, I may even have asked about it here. But we ended up deciding against it because our kids will both be expected to use school computers a lot in the coming years and until they are almost exclusively using their own laptops they were going to have a hard time. So they are learning QWERTY, but we would like to move them on to DVORAK. Actually I am wondering if we should be moving our 6 yr old onto DVORAK, she's struggling with QWERTY and she's the one with the significant hand issues that is expected to be on full time laptop use as soon as her typing is adequate...
DHs boss is a DVORAK user, he's the only person we know IRL. DH would like to retrain himself but can't find the time at the moment.
