Racer, is that because society force you to use the scissors in your right hand versus left.. As a teacher, we are now told to not teach left handed students unless we are left handed and right hand teachers should teach right handed students. If you are taught to use scissors by a right handed person would not that mean you will learn to use them that way. Scissors are made for left and right hands too. Irons are made handed too. There are many skills that are different depending on your handedness. I have skills that were affected due to my right handed parents trying to teach me skills that were due to theml being right handed and they messed me up. At Vanderbilt were I rec my teaching degree they were studying those students having issues reading and found evidence that some who were college students having reading problems might have been forced to be right handed and were in fact meant to be left handed and it affected the way they processed words on the written page. We had one girl in one of my eduction classes that had to tape all lectures because she had this issue. I have heard many theories about handness. INteresting topic for sure. I always had problems with desks in school and college. Not meant for left handed person. LOL Again an interesting topic.
