Yeah I remember when my first grade teacher turned me into a righty with a ruler across the knuckles. I still throw and shoot left-handed.
Nothing wrong with shooting, throwing, batting, or fencing left handed, but writing with your left hand makes absolutely no sense since you can’t see what you’re writing. Just seems like common sense to me.
My third grade teacher(Phillipino-Catholic: very superstitious...Phillipinos that is) in Catholic School wouldnt let me write in her class unless it was the right hand. I stopped writing, the report card came, and my mother let her and I presume the Principal have it! Problem solved. I’m the oldest of three brothers. All left handed.
