This was a thing I'm Europe as well in the 50's. My mom regularly got a slapping with a ruler or got kicked into the coal shed for writing left handedly

The good ol' days. Kids these days don't appreciate a good coal shed anymore.

To be fair, they don't make coal sheds like they used to.. 🤷

My grandpa passed away in 2008 from mesothelioma.

Found out from my mom that back when he was young, the local factories would leave out these giant white fluffy piles of asbestos dust that kids would play in.

Can't believe we never got to experience that fun, stupid liberals banning everything.
