"Chris McManus of University College London argues that the proportion of left-handers is increasing and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that increases their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centres of the brain."

yeah they don't burn us at the stake anymore, once they found out, which is why we got biber on the airwaves baby!

I also realised that the photo I posted above has beethoven writing with his fucking right hand hahaha. maybe a right handed hatin ass painter.
 
My son is 8 years old he always favored his left hand. But the school made us choose what he should be and basically forced us to make him right handed. Even though we might be screwing him up, I found he is actually better at a lot of things because of it. Depending on the task he can easily switch it up. Did any of you lefties have any trouble in school because of this? Did they try to force you to be right handed?

My father was forced to be right-handed, the teachers succeeded apparently. And, to be honest, I'd have to ask him is that made him suffer or not.

What's relevant here is, why'd you change someone's handedness.

my brother is that way, he writes with his left, but plays almost all sports like basketball etc. with his right hand.

I was forced (but not successful) to be right handed early because I was almost always the only left hander in my class and they usually weren't small classes either. Probably about 20 students.

It was because of these fuckers. My school would always have to dig up a left handed version of these things to accommodate me and like 3 other kids in the whole school.

Even when we had the conjoined style desks in my really early schooling days, I would smash elbows with the kid next to me, which got me into my first fist fight as a kindergartener.

They tried to change me, but I'm just too left dominant and couldn't change for the life of me. I use my right leg to kick shit though, right footed, so thats a bit fucked.

What you think or what the school thinks is of absolutely no importance.

He might only be 8, but you as a parent and the school should know that if he prefers something it's because it feels natural to him. Tell the school he's a lefty and if he ever decides to change that it will be entirely up to him.

I'm in my late twenties and I still remember my parents asking me what I thought and them saying something along the lines of 'we're never going to try and change that', I'd be resentful if they went the opposite route. He's never going to forget if you chose the supportive or the 'sheepishly follow what the school says' route.
