In private school, school teachers could try and force the sim to write with their right hand. Shy sims would submit, while confident sims wouldn't.

That brings back some interesting memories.
I was originally a lefty until my 1st grade teacher told me that lefties weren't as successful in life as righties. Basically I was to forced to write with my right hand but switched back to my left a few years ago. Now I'm ambidextrous. 8)

Anyway, if lefties were included that would so awesome. Big Grin

that's so mean of that teacher, basically saying be a righty or you are no good. That's just wrong. I totally love lefties for thier differences! Well now you can use both hands so you are even cooler lol!

I hate how people say that. There's no right and wrong when it comes to that sort of thing. Darn it... Sad

I know, it's like discrimination. Just plain meanness. That teacher probably was bitter about something or something like that.

Well, unfortunately, anything that makes you stand out these days is frowned upon. My friends and I call the "no child left behind" program the "no child surges ahead" program. They dumb the smart kids down rather than smarten the not-so-smart kids up. SO stupid.

Anyway, left handed people tend to be more artistically gifted and such. They also tend to be rather smart. Granted, that's a generalization, but still. So it's stupid to force them to switch just because it's not deemed normal in someone's eyes.

i don't see how people can be mean about THAT. come on! that ridiculous and vile!

Oh, that makes me SO mad!

Same here. Stupid "normalness"...it screws everything up.

That's terrible! Sad

I'm angry about that. >:-(

CountryGal4132 · 17-05-2008, 04:59 PM

yeah, I appreciate the differences in people. I love being different so stuff like this greatly annoys me.

Yeah, she was a pretty backwards teacher who was probably in her 70's at the time.
