I can see a situation where the teacher was merely telling her young charges the origins of words for left handedness and the treatment of such people in bye gone eras.

In pre-kindergarten, i.e., day care?

She’d really love me. I’m ambidextrous.

Wen I was in third grade, there was a girl in my class who could write the same words on the blackboard with both hands simultaneously. However, her left hand wrote a mirror image. She could also play the piano quite well.

“Not the Bible per se. But definitely a catholic school thing.”

There’s a BIG difference between Catholic traditions and

what the Bible teaches.

BIG difference. - as in the difference between

salvation by God

and

salvation by self.

My Catholic Nuns did not permit lefties to stay that way. I learned to write with my right hand, but could still write with my left hand, too.

As a result, I can do most things left or right handed, which comes in handy. No devil nonsense, though, thank God. It is easier to do most tasks right handed because of the way machinery is set up.

My eldest is left handed and I let him stay that way because it was said to be wrong to make them use their right hand. I kick myself for not making him write right handed. He’s a bit miffed about it, too. He’d like to be both, like me.

I too am left handed.

My teachers had a difficult time teaching me to write. They didn’t do a very good job. Even I cannot read my own cursive writing. My printing is not much better, so I type when I can & avoid writing as much as possible.

My wife is also left handed. She tells the story of eating with friends when she was little. The host mother freaked out when she saw my wife eating with her left hand. She said it was evil of the devil.

What kind of low life idiot tells a small child he/she is evil?

Yea my hand writing sucks too.
The worst is when i was in school during the early 80’s when erasable pens were all of the rage, my left had would get covered in ink and the writing would be a smudged.

Sinister? In Latin the word sinister means LEFT. So of course left is sinister.

And the right is "dexter". But isn't that the name of that homicidal dude on that HBO series? That would be evil too. (just being silly...lol)
