I'm Right Handed

I am left handed, although I do most things with my right hand. My first grade teacher tried to make me use my right hand. When i asked my parents why, was I doing it wrong they said no. My father went to the school and it never happened again. I have no idea what he said but I found out years later than my mother had her knuckles whacked with a cane for writing left handed. she was left handed until the day she died. And so am I.

I'm left handed as are many in my family. Any teacher who would try to convert a student's normal-handedness should be fired for incompetence and failing to grasp learning theory.

If you practice for a bit, it'll probably come back pretty quickly. I'm glad nobody did that to me.

They seriously still do that? I was too stubborn, lol. Still a lefty

Maybe you’re ambidextrous

Why would anyone do that? Half my family is left-handed (but not me!) and we've never encouraged them to hide it. If teachers tried to pressurise my kids like that I'd be having a "chat" with the headteacher.

I was born left-handed, too. The nuns insisted I use my right hand (to the point of tying my left to my chair). But outside of school I rebelled. Today I still favor my left hand but can write equally illegibly with either. 🙂
