Who here is a lefthander?

Ooh, I'll take one Ekho. Being right-handed is best for....some interesting things.

I don't know...left handers seem to have more fun than blonds.

[Kaitlin 22]

I remember writting right to left when I first learned how.

 

I did too. How old were you when you first learned to write? I think it's pretty common when you use the other hand. Do you have to use special scissors?

 

*does almost everything with the right hand except write and throw* I just could never manage how. No one would ever buy left handed scissors, though. An extravagance!

 

I think I might have had a bit of a hard time learning left from right too, when we first started in school.

 

Anybody can have snacks, really. Silly ones!

Unfortunate for you. Neither left handed nor blonde.

I was about 6, I started school late and I was more familiar with a keyboard than a pencil. But no, I've never used Left-handed scissors.

It doesn't actually matter when someone learned to read or write, as generally children catch up to each other along the same developmental level within a couple of years. But, it's interesting as an individual fact!

 

It's neat that Sivvy learned about keyboards! *is so old she didn't even see a computer keyboard until she was further along in primary school*

*same here re computer keyboards *

 

I am a rightie *steals cookie anyway* but I remember how one of the nuns in my schools used to go "only the devil's children write with their left hand". There was this one girl who was a leftie and she just couldn't do anything with her right hand, but this Sister Rose (or Rosie!) would force her to write with her right hand. We were in class 2 (around age 7), and she was really traumatized. It was really sad.

That is sad, Jannibug. Teachers who single out children to pick on make me so mad! Teachers of that sort should be thrown to the wild skunks, because they have no business being in a classroom.

That's sad

 

I remember when I was in class 1 I used to have a friend who was a leftie and my teachers were ok with him.

[Sivart Reborn 7]

I wonder what some of the clergy around here would say about that... *for some reason I find backwater in the middle of nowhere type religious people are the most conventional*
