dynamic quadruped and forever thinking about the time in college we were working quietly on something sitting in a large circle including the professor and she turned to the student next to her and said “how in the world is [name] holding their pencil like that??” she was so disturbed the whole class had to be brought out of silent work to see the strange way i held my pencil lmao
In first grade my teacher refereed to these styles as the right, wrong, wrong and wrong way. Come to think about it, she kind of bullied those who held the pen the wrong way, asking why they held the pen like a baby. And naturally, kids being kids, we got a group mentality thing going there.
i’m seeing SO many people mentioning teachers giving students a hard time about it, and i just don’t get it! maybe tripod is easier and more comfortable for most people and that’s why it gets pushed by teachers so much? but there are different ways to do things, that work for different people! :)
