Theoretically, if your car is moving and changing gears based on speed, the driver is operating it correctly, maybe not smoothly, but it is working. Just like anything, you can always take it a step further... Double clutching, rev matching, heel toeing, etc. I wouldn't call it incorrect to shift to first if not at a complete stop, just out of the norm. I'm definitely no qualified expert, but I'm not going to tell my Wife she doesn't know how to drive stick because her habits differ from mine. Synchros and clutches wear out over time, some driving habits preserve them much better than others.
