"I learned CW on a straight key so it would be easy for me to say "that's
the way it should be done". Recently, I had the opportunity to observe
my kids as they began learning morse and began sending. ..."
I started on a straight key, re-learned on a bug, and then re-learned again
on paddles. Since a CW op will wind up on paddles eventually, I think it
would be best to start there. Of course, I started out back when a straight
key was very cheap, a bug was more expensive, and you had to have a very
expensive TO keyer (or equivalent) if you wanted to use paddles. My
daughter (AC5NF) learned on paddles from day-one and had no problem.
