Hi All, new subject to get your teeth into. In the 1940's to 50's. I was always being punished for writing with my left hand. The teacher's were telling me off for it. They would rap my knuckles with a wooden ruler or make me sit on my left hand. Some times I was made to stand in the corner for the full lesson or sent to the headmaster to get the strap, which he delited in doing because there was always a line of children waiting for the strap. On one occasion the teacher tied my left hand behind my back. Needless to say that fifty odd years later I still write left handed. We never dared tell are parents or we would get told off again. Hard times. Any one else got any school stories? Malcolm from Hyde. Cheshire. England. Skype name. malcolmbo1
