I've been told my whole life that I write funny. Ok, not write funny but that I hold a pencil funny. I've also been told that I hold a fork funny and tie my shoes funny. What's the point? Even though I've been told that I do all of these things "funny" I am still able to complete the task. The end result is the same. If your result is the same as it would be if you did it the "correct" way, does it mean that it is wrong?
I've now passed my silly pencil holding skills down to my son and he was sent home from Kindergarten with a contraption that secures to his pencil.
I've never noticed that he held his pencil improperly probably because I always have. As a teacher, there are things I will have to notice about my students that I'm not really sure I would make a big deal about if the results are correct and consistent. This is one of them.
