My niece, who is in 2nd grade, is a left handed child. My sister was telling me the other day that her teacher is forcing her to use her right hand. If she catches her using her left hand, she takes the pencil, crayon, marker, or whatever she is using away from her & makes her use her other hand.
The Teacher has also sent notes home saying she will not be accepting anymore schoolwork from my niece if it is not done with the right hand.
My sister has gone to the proper school officials about this, but has been told that the Teacher is "old school" & they will talk to her. IF they did talk to her, it did no good.
She cant move her to another school or anything like that & they have told her they will not transfer to another class.
Is there anything else she can do?
I feel like this against my nieces rights to individuality.
