Comment on I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers

    A friend of mine is also left handed and I only found out when we started a game of darts and he switched hands. Under communism writing with the left hand was not allowed for some reason.

    No worries, they beat my dad in public school for the same thing. My mother told my kindergarten teacher to fuck off when she suggested my left handedness needed to be corrected (in 1989).
