[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not really worthy of canvassing opinions.

1. Buy a few left handed scissors

2. Mark somehow that they are for lefties (nail polish stripe, dots with a sharpie, writing “left handed” on them, etc)

3. Drop them in the office for your teacher with a note explaining your daughter is a leftie and you hoped this might help in the classroom

They may or may not get used, get lost, etc. that’s okay, too. [/quote]

The fact that you don't know how left handed scissors are marked show that you have no value add to this conversation.  Go back to your right handed world with smeary pen ink and multiple scissor choices.[/quote]

Clearly you don’t understand that the making on the leftie scissors is for the OTHER CHILDREN, so those are not taken by a kid who doesn’t need them. But thanks for the insult.  [/quote]

They come already marked as lefty.  Do you NOT understand that?  And if god forbid and the world ends a right handed child takes the lefty scissors (TERROR) they won't work because of the hand placement.  I know, this is major drama - I'm shuddering at the thought.[/quote]

Not all kindergarteners read.

A kid who takes them and can’t use them could just leave them wherever (innocently).

Your way (of not marking them and telling the class to not use them unless they are Larla or Larlo, is setting the stage for the scissors to not be available to those who need them AND the teacher having to be bothered about it frequently.

If you don’t see the purpose, benefit or need to mark them, then don’t bring them to the class. [/quote]
