Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Strange Staple

I did my usual grading yesterday. It went pretty well. If I would just do a little more each day, it would be so much better…

Anyway, one of the things I graded was a math test. They are supposed to staple their work pages to the test. Everyone does the conventional upper-left-corner staple pretty well. Some are neater than others.

But one kid always staples to the right. It’s curious. I want to ask him about it some time, but I’m not sure he would know why he staples the right instead of the left. And I think I’d like to leave this fascinating curiosity as it is.

Its the middle one.
It’s the middle one.

    Huh. My guess is that either no one has told him how to do it or he is left-handed. Scratch that. A lefty would have the staple angled the other way. He just doesn’t know.

    Way to go, grader!

    I couldn’t even grade any kind of math? Yay for you! I’m just now getting good at adding up totals at the grocery store while shopping… i’m over 50. I think Righty Stapleton is a rebel!

    Someone is very inexperienced when it comes to the use of a stapler.

    Truth be told, I much prefer flipping right-stapled first pages behind seconds, but apparently few others do, and I even consistently staple on the top left myself, so…did our early school years teachers show us this? I can’t recall right now how I learned to staple…hmmm…
