I went to school in the south in the mid-90s and one point and I clearly remember a troublemaker kid getting beat by the principal with a leather whip/paddle type of thing. And he had massive welts on his back/ass. |

Grok, did Catholic schools used to force left handed children to write with their right hand?
Yes, it was common in many Catholic (and non-Catholic) schools, particularly in the 19th and early to mid-20th centuries, to force left-handed children to write with their right hand. This practice was rooted in a combination of cultural, religious, and pseudo-scientific beliefs. 1. Religious and Superstitious Beliefs: In some Christian traditions, the left hand was historically associated with evil or the devil. The Latin word for “left,” sinistra, is the root of the English word “sinister.” Because of this, some educators and religious figures believed left-handedness was unnatural or undesirable. 2. Cultural Norms: Right-handedness was seen as the “correct” way to write, and left-handedness was considered an abnormality that should be corrected. This belief was widespread, not just in Catholic schools but in many educational institutions worldwide. 3. Practical Reasons: Writing with the right hand was encouraged because many writing systems (especially those that use cursive or ink pens) were designed for right-handed writers. Left-handed writers often smudged their writing, which was considered messy or improper.
Teachers, including nuns in Catholic schools, sometimes used harsh methods to force children to switch hands, such as tying their left hand behind their back, hitting their knuckles with a ruler, or shaming them. Over time, as understanding of neurology and psychology improved, these practices faded away, and left-handedness became widely accepted.
By the late 20th century, forcing left-handed children to switch became recognized as harmful, as it could lead to learning difficulties, frustration, and even stuttering in some cases. Today, most schools, including Catholic ones, accept and accommodate left-handed students without issue. |
