I was just talking about my first and second grade years today. It was 1977/78. Both teachers those two grades tied my left hand down and forced me to try to learn to write with my right hand. What it did was make my handwriting absolutely terrible. This was due to the fact that in the third grade they didn’t teach you that anymore and I never had any practice at it. My parents didn’t care it happened since my dad was convinced a left handed man just couldn’t match a right handed mans abilities. It was because the school nearly got sued by another students parents that they finally ended that bit of abuse. This is the southern US by the way. The place that is permanently out of step with decency.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I grew up left handed in socal 90s and had a few people in my education try to correct it just by pointing it out but nobody forced me. When I was learning to write my name I would write it backwards and mirrored haha, brains are funny.
