Left handed school experiences survey

There are lots of great things about being left-handed, but it can sometimes be hard trying to learn to do something in a right-handed way or with right-handed tools. Nowadays, many schools are realising that it’s not fair to make us left-handers do things “back to front” and that left-handers deserve to be just as comfortable when they learn. There are lots of really useful left-handed teaching aids and equipment that are now available to schools, but some teachers still aren’t using them! That’s why we’re asking you to fill in this survey to tell us how well your school looks after left-handed pupils.

The survey form, results and analysis for this survey are on our Left Handed Children site at www.lefthandedchildren.org

    I scored 93%. I use ordinary scissors in my right hand because that’s what I have always done – maybe I should try LH scissors.

    I have always played two-handed sports (e.g. cricket, golf) right-handed (I have no idea why as my school in the 50s and 60s did not force left-handers to be right-handed), whilst holding a one-handed sports club, such as a tennis racquet, with my left hand.

    I write, very untidily, with my left hand, sort of upside down (common I think). But this alone is not a reason to be an untidy writer; my older sister is also left handed, writes in a similar way to me, but has beautiful handwriting.

    One question that wasn’t asked was PC mouse use – I use my right hand and this means that I can write while navigating the computer. However, I always used to use the mouse with my left hand until I developed RSI!!
