I LOVE this! It reminds me of 2nd grade. I am left handed, my teacher was right handed.....she gave me D's in handwriting the entire year. Years and years later when I was going through some thing, I found some papers with her handwriting on it....It was HORRIBLE! I remember her fussing at me one time because I had a problem with writing my 3's and 6's backwards. She even tried to get me to use my right hand a few times. I don't think a teacher would get away with that these days.....looking back, she was really a wicked thing! This was in the mid 70's.<BR/>Shelle-shellelittleton@bellsouth.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-13023199998957104682007-05-17T22:18:00.000-05:002007-05-17T22:18:00.000-05:00haha nice one.
