True story. My grandfather, of blessed memory, was born in 1909. He was left-handed but his teachers forced him to write with his right hand. A brilliant guy- did the NYT Sunday crossword in pen in minutes- he dropped out of school after 8th grade.
My grandfather was elated that two of his grandchildren inherited his left-handedness. "Adele, she's a lefty," he would say about me as I scribbled at his kitchen table. (He did not yet know just how correct "she's a lefty" would be).

Good morning!
Here are some things your school isn't going to tell you about.
-if you forbid makeup, and your kid puts on lip gloss when they get to school.
-if you ask them to end a friendship, but they keep hanging out with the other kid
-If you keep Kosher, Halal, vegetarian, organic and they have cafeteria pepperoni pizza
-you don't want them dating, and they have an at-school boyfriend
-you want them to be evangelical but they don't belief in god 2/ pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2023…
