There is no reason for lefties to fight to cut. The issue is that we right handers are often unsure of how to approach teaching them. So, rather than teaching left handers to cut, this article will teach right handers how to approach it. Your left-handedness Left-handed scissors are required. There will be adult lefties out there who will tell me that they can cut right. That's fantastic. The thing is, we can adapt to using the incorrect scissors. My son is a lefty, and there always seem to be lefty scissors around when I need to cut something quickly. To cut well with left-handed scissors, I've learned to adapt and angle the scissors just right. That, however, is not the point.
