None of the children on my table at school seem to be capable of sitting properly on their chairs. They sit right on the edge, rest of the chair pushed out behind them, slouched right over their work. ARGH!
I do remember being told to sit up straight and pull my chair in all the way through school. And NOT ro rock on my chair. What I never realised is just how bad it looks, how lazy and careless and how dangerous it really is, not just an annoying adult-ism. I've seen falls off chairs (and chins bang tables) that could have been quite nasty.
And I had no idea how bloody annoying it was for the teacher to say it again and again and again and again...
I have been complimented often on my posture since. And also because I am extememly comfortable sitting cross legged with a straight back (people notice the oddest things). So something must have sunk in at some point.
