A child is learning to write. Penmanship is a lost art in our digital, smiley icon world, but this youngster diligently works at it.
Despite being naturally left-handed, 4-year-old Zayde Sands was allegedly being forced to use his right hand by his teacher, and probably doing a botched job of his lettering as a result. Why was the teacher forcing a lefty to go righty? Check the next page – yes, you can “right” click:
there is nothing wrong with left-handers (I am one)…this is absolutely INSANE!!! fire the teacher for making the kid feel inferior…better yet DISCRIMATION!!!!
The parents with kids in this school should hire a very good attorney. If the administration and the school board support this kind of abuse in this day and age–there needs to be sweeping change and some pain in bank account!
Shannon Mckelvey Shay… Crazy???
My mom was born left handed.. The Catholic schools back then (40′ s& 50’s) also didn’t want left handed people ..they made her become right- handed
Same with my mother.
IVe always been left handed and proud of! If I may brag a little, I’ve been told my cursive writing has always been beautiful, and I don’t curl my hand around like idiot Obama does!
Ha, I was left handed. When I started the 1st grade in 1956 my teach and many many others thought it was a sickness or something. Anyway, she made me do everything right handed. And that carried over to my 2nd grade teacher. They made me right handed. But I have always did certain things as a left handed person, and still do. I don’t and never did have really good penmanship, and I really think it is because of what was done way back then. I can write left handed but not as good as right handed, and that is not great either. My son is left handed and we made sure no one tried to change that at all. Oh well, life goes on. lol..Oh also, this was public school, not catholic school.
This teacher is sick in the head and anyone who says such brain dead stuff such as the left hand use is of the devil?
Obama is left handed maybe that why thet think the kids evil
I’m ambidextrous. In school, back then, I was punished for using my left hand. Comes from the bible, misinterpreted, ‘if the left hand offends thee, cot it off.’. Many people have suffered from that ignorance.
