Third grade teacher tried to force me to be right handed by keeping me inside during recess and drawing big circles on the chalk board the entire time. I told my mother,she came to the school and took care of the problem. I hated her as much as she hated me. Next year,my brother (also a lefty) got her and I know she hated it cause she knew my mother would have done the same thing if she messed with him. She didn't. Still a lefty.
