My grandmother was beaten in school for using her left hand. Then they tied her hand behind her to force her to write with her right hand. Being left-handed was the sign of the Devil in those days.
As a lefty myself, I’m glad they don’t do that anymore! Now they just leave us alone with our terrible smeared handwriting.
Yikes :S They didn't do that to me, but they did 'correct' my left-handedness in preschool. I'm now only slightly ambidextrous, but I did discover I can write with my left hand... backwards. It's sloppy, but every stroke is a mirror image of what I write with my right hand...
