The method seems extreme, but I am sure your writing is much nicer than mine (I'm right-handed and I
definitely don't have beautiful copperplate writing!) so perhaps the results were worth it! And at least you were not singled out so the treatment was pretty much expected and accepted by your peers. Still, I am sure the "copperplate" results could have been achieved if they allowed the left-handed folks to learn to write naturally with their left hands - the right-handed teachers probably just didn't know how to teach the skill that way!
