Reply To: Children not allowed to use pens

Sorry for your pain, RebYidd.
Reminds me of when my 4th grade teacher scared my parents at a parent-teachers conference by telling them I had a real serious problem. I did not old my pen correctly. Oy vey.
I was also one of the last to receive that coveted “pen” on top of my assignments that meant we could graduate from pencil to pen.
I still hold the pen wrong to this day. B”H I have very few opportunities to write with actual pen and paper these days. Yesterday, someone asked me to write something in my own handwriting and I typed a rough draft on the computer first.
