So far two responses from lefties-saying they write with their left hand and follow behind with their right hand to keep place. Haven't heard from any teachers yet.

What have people done when teaching a left-handed person to use a slate and stylus? Did you ask them to do it the standard way (hold the stylus in right hand and lead with left hand), or have you found that it works okay for a left-handed person to hold the stylus in his left hand and just FOLLOW with the right index finger as a place marker??
