Gaara101: That job discrimination existed decades ago but not today, except a few stereotyped myopic bosses who are too archaic to accept it's not a problem to be lefty. At least, Bush, Clinton and Obama led the US (with their left hand) for over two decades and I don't think they ruined America, did they? 2 Likes |

amicable09: Lefties are not being discriminated against for employment purposes. If anything at all, they're admired for their uniqueness. So please, let's let these children be and let them use whatever hand they're born to use. As for my age when I was being turned into a dumbo, I was about 4 yrs old or so. It was nursery 1 - the very first class when a child starts to learn to write. As I was told, my dad had said "no one in his generation has used left and neither did anyone in his wife's family. So how is his (DonOms) own like that?" My point is, while you're right that early correction works, it's needless. It's the 21st century and as much as you won't support the killing of twins for being supposedly sinister, let's not support the correction of left-handedness because it seems harmless to do. 2 Likes |

DonOms:Of course, they didn't. Thanks for the reply. I've been searching for left handed people facts and I never came across that. Its shameful that 'bosses' with those mindset still exists. Once again, thanks. |

DonOms:I completely agree with you. The 'correction' is needless. There are no harm, neither has any sinister effect been recorded that correlates with the handedness of an individual. |

Gaara101: You're welcome. The truth is, that a concept is popular does not equate rightness. Did you know that for a long time centuries ago, sandals were made with no left or right designs? People just put their foot into any one of the pair 'cos it's the same. Was that popular in that time? YES. Was it right? NO. So someone figured it out and made things right. Same with killing of twins in Calabar which Scottish woman Mary Slessor fought against. Was a second of twin children truly a devil? NO. Did Calabar people believe it? YES. Maybe because one know-it-all dibia said so. Until someone came all the way from Aberdeen and proved them wrong. Point is: Any person can start up a stupid idea and everyone will believe despite it being wrong. So don't mind those people who stereotype us lefties and associate us with all sorts - their stereotyping days are well numbered. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Only very backward people will discriminate against lefties. I would not change to right even if I could. My left-handedness is one of my selling points. 2 Likes |

OP, you forgot about writing on white board in front of classes. They always complain that you're blocking what you're writing with your body, as if it's intentional . As for PS, Sony eventually started producing pads for left-handed people and games started providing orientation for lefties; Though those pads costs quite a lot then sha..... . The main problem with being left-handed is that writing ish. You always have to contort your body and shift your elbow to ensure adequate writing . It's cool sha.... |

SirWere:. I forgot to add that.I can remember vividly when I was serving,my students were always complaining whenever I am writing on the board. I was teaching Physics, what I did was to dictate the theory aspect of it and solve the calculation part on the board. |
