Even if we make lots of adjustments to teach according to the child's needs, I think one glaring issue will remain and it's that we read and write left to right. Which is an issue for left handers no matter what. Pushing the writing implement and dragging your hand over what you just wrote seems inevitable.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI have heard that there are left-handed pens. Geometrically and mechanically, they're the same as regular pens. The difference is that they hold faster-drying ink. I have not actually confirmed this, or even seen them for sale. I don't even know where you'd go to buy them (Amazon, probably). But if you're a lefty, it might be worth looking into.
- detaro 7y agoHere in Germany (where fountain pens are normal in school) you see them all over the place. Never heard about variations with in ink though, rather it's about the shape of the pen (many aren't symmetric) and the cut of the nib, so it works better at typical angles.
- detaro 7y agoWe got taught in school to write at an angle, so the hand stays below the already written text.
