My grandmother was a lefty, her teachers would hit her hand with a ruler if she tried to use it in school.

I've had many Jamaican friends tell me that they were "beaten" in school. Right into their teen years. It's so humiliating.

No doubt. My grandmother went to school in Texas, though.

Re: Left handed

I'm lefty, but I can't use left-handed scissors. (maybe they didn't have them in school when I was young, long ago) I iron (who irons any more? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]) with my right hand too. As far as brained, I'm stronger in math and science, but I love reading. I've also been told I have a galluping imagination. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] My girl friend n her mother used to have me relate my dreams sometimes because they would unfold like some kind of action fantasy fairy tale.

I've always been a leftie, and was never 'forced' to use my right hand by anyone, but did so for a couple of weeks in school because I sprained my left thumb. Once that got better, it was back to being naturally left.

Funnily, there are some things I have to do with my right hand such as drinking from a glass. I have no idea why [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
