My pet peeve about holding pens: Why is that I got 4 points off of a Chumash test in 12th grade for bad handwriting? And why was my handwriting always criticized?

If my handwriting was really so bad, why didn’t someone along the way just teach me how to hold my pen correctly or fix whatever it is I needed to fix instead of making me feel bad about my handwriting?? Okay, so I didn’t actually feel that bad about it, but even so, wouldn’t it have been more productive for someone to tell me what to do about it instead of criticizing me for it???
