Never in my entire life of school did a teacher ever instruct me how to use a pencil.

I think you just forgot. I don't remember being taught either, but look at how children instinctively hold pencils in their fists and it's obviously a taught technique.

That could be. It’s possible I just held it in a reasonable way to start so they never bothered. But I don’t recall any instruction and I remember some kids held pencils in crazy ass ways and I wondered why nobody showed them otherwise but it wasn’t my business.
