how did this teacher even get the job

That is a gross and accurate description of the public school system.(In America)

Why can’t some people understand that not everyone is perfect

That’s horrible

bitching bitch

This need to be banned, teacher can't tell us when are bladders need to go.

Being ableist. Public education at its finest ladies and gentlemen.

why tf do teachers have such a problem with mental math it is an important skill to develop

Can we talk about how awesome this person's twitter handle is?

In kindergarten everyone who sat next to me tried to copy my answers. Always (unless it was my friends)

I was always yelled at for this too, i would accidentally read ahead and when they called on me to read and i asked"What paragraph" i got yelled at.

I was put out of the class to learn my lesson. "You will sit out here where you can't learn, so you learn"

I’m left handed and would be horrified if someone did this to me. It’s dumb how people will shame others based off of what hand they write with

I hold it like the left picture too :)

There is no wrong way of holding a pen as long as it works for you. Especially if you're an illustrator.

I was taught to write holding it like the left picture but have always been more comfortable holding it like the right picture. I was forced to use a rubber attachment on my pencils to force me to hold it "correctly"... I also have to turn my paper nearly 90° to write in a straight line, comfortably.

I was taught that the hold on the left is the proper one (better precision), and the hold on the right is a lazy one that leads to bad penmanship and weird finger calluses. I use the hold on the right.

oof I have muscle problems and can't hold my pencil right...I have been literrally screamed at

This! I'm a professional painter and illustrator and that never made any sense to me! I also hold paintbrushes the way that makes sense to my hand, not the way that made sense for teachers.

Were you accidentally smudging the ink with your fingers on the paper? Only reason I can think to correct it.

I hold it like in the left picture too, and my drawings are still pretty good if i do say so myself. My brother thinks ghey're really good too.

Very similar to my experience where I was suposed to hold my pen higher.

Doesnt everyone write like the left?
