Hum.. Me too, by my first grade teacher and my parents. They kept pulling the big thick pencil from my left hand and placing it in my right hand, like what I was doing was criminal or something? By the way, my little desk back then in first grade still appeared to have fresh ink stains in the inkwell of the itty bitty desk. One statistic I've heard is that 20% of people are left-handed? It's interesting to note how many president's were left-handed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although my parents sent me to a private kindergarten. It was an Episcopal Church. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was not when I was that age. Although my parents sent me to a private kindergarten. It was an Episcopal Church. Yep! I attended kindergarten (kinnygardon) back in the day. It was only half a day, we had milk and a cookie everyday, and had a nap time on our supplied mat. We even had stories read to us and were pampered. Next came first grade, what a shock to the human psyche. Discipline and attention, what's that? Ever heard of the stories of little Johnie, Johnie sitting in the corner wearing a paper dunce hat? Where do you think that tale originated? Every person is famous for something, me it's the hat Oops, off topic again, and will probably get censured again from an unnamed source. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it IS 20% but in my immediate family it's more like 40%. Strong left handed genes, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually my handwriting is a sloppy print, but that is mostly because I usually only write when taking fast notes. -Era your typing is quite good and easy to read, I hope my typing is as easy as yours to read. I type with both hands so some of the letters I typed left handed may be hard to read but the ones I typed right handed should be easy to read 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
