hello,
thanks for raising the issue about shorthand. I have just completed my bachelors degree in secretarial studies and shorthand has been one of the core course units. To be sincere I did not like shorthand at the begining of the course and other students have had the same attitude about it, but with time i developed interest in it because it made me unique.
Having finished the course, I relaxed and stopped doing the drills till I a job opportunity came up where i was required to take dictation. I embarked on serious drilling daily. I went and did the job with minmum difficulties and todate i still spare some time to look through the outlines.
So I think shorthand is still relevant because it helps save time, improves ones listening skills and is good for taking down confidential notes especially in public meetings.
I wish you all the best as you plan on taking up your teaching career.
