Me neither. My teacher would jokingly say "you write with the wrong hand" but my grandma told me back in her day, teachers would seriously force students to write with their right hand. I really don't understand what's the big deal tho. UPDATE: I Just Googled the reason and it's actually pretty dumb. Don't know if it is the same in the US, but apparently, people thought people who write with left are possessed by the devil [Edited 7/8/20 3:56am]

That can't be true. I mean, I'm right handed...

I never could figure out why teachers were so against students using their left hand?

My younger brothers kindy teacher would smack the back of lefthander's hands if they tried to write with their correct hand. This was in the early 1970s.

My son is left handed.

He also could naturally write backwards (mirror image) in KINDERGARDEN!!!!

Interesting! I wrote backwards too, a little differently. When we started learning cursive (as opposed to printing) in the 2nd grade, I couldn't do it unless I had the paper upside down. So it looked like I was writing backwards and upside-down. I had very nice penmanship so kids would get me to write their names etc, a little parlor trick. It also took care of the hand smudge factor lefties deal with.

When I got to 3rd grade, the new teacher insisted I write with my paper straight, she taped it to my desk every day. After that I could only print in class by twisting my body, turning the paper had been my work-around. She literally stopped me from writing cursive. I was mad about that too.

I heard that batman can write with each hand and each foot and mouth.... all at the same time all in different languages....

That is true, but only when I'm drunk
