A friend of mine is left handed and in 5th grade gave writing with the spirals and thus holes on the left. Our English teacher made the entire class look at him and go "the holes go on the left, do you know your left?"

In the late 70s my family moved to a different state so I entered a new school around halfway through 3rd grade. For whatever reason they didn't start learning cursive yet, I was already writing cursive. For the first couple of weeks in the new school I would turn in work in cursive and instead of just accepting it the teacher would come down on me and make me do the whole thing over. It freaked me out and I cried a couple times in class because I couldn't understand why I was being punished for being ahead of the other kids. Crying in class does not make your cool or popular.
