I remember my father telling me that back in his school days teachers beat the sheite out of you if you were left handed, they forced you to use your right hand thinking they could change you.

that happend to me ma.

im 42 and while no one tried to kick the crap out of me one of my teachers back in primary kept trying to get me to use my right hand instead of my left so the sentiment was present up to very recently, if not still out there in some form.
