My first grade teacher tried to force me to be right handed.
My mom came in the next day and told her in clear, loud words, “He’s left handed! You don’t change that. Learn how to teach him as a lefty”!
Proud to be a lefty still!
Me too, except my K-3rd grade teachers were nuns (of the original austere and disciplined "penguin" variety). Nevertheless, I persevered and grew up to be a fairly well-adjusted Lefty.
