Petition Make schools provide more support for left handed children learning to write

Schools are equipped for right handed children. Items such as workbooks are not helpful. At such an important time in their development, not having specific support can knock their confidence. For example work books set out so that their writing hand is not covering the words they are copying.

More details

I have two left handed children and a left handed brother. They struggle to use simple things because they live in a right handed world.
