When I started school back in the dark ages, my parents told my grade one teacher that I was left handed and they did not want her to "train" me to become right-handed. Apparently it wasn't uncommon for teachers to do things like tie kids' left hands behind their backs so they couldn't use them to write, or to actually punish children for holding pens and pencils in their left hand. My teacher told my parents she believed in letting children write with their preferred hand. I can't imagine the torment that poor lefties went through being forced to write with their right hand.
