1950? This happened to me in the 90s
Where are you from, Alabama 100 years from now?
Same here but in the 80s. Teacher would slap my hand with a ruler and force me to switch to my right hand. She also regularly told me I was evil and had the devil in me. My mom came to the school after she found out and nearly killed that teacher.
I'm still a lefty.
I may or may not be evil...
Started school in 2001, my mother - a lefthanded person herself! - tried the first 4 years of primary school to get me to write with the "correct" hand (unsuccessfully)
Christ.
3rd grade teacher, first day of school. Was writing my name on my desk card. Next thing I know, I had yard stick slam down on my wrist. Got hit so hard that my wrist was swollen for days after
The fuck. Where?
Mississippi
Their wrist, they already said.

I was gonna say '80s, but you beat me by 10 years. I used to be left-handed, and my physio spotted it immediately: something about early muscle formation.
But as it was a conservative region of the country, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the 'classic' teaching style.
I'm still left handed. I don't break lol
