surprising really you would think that it would be the opposite and that it is something pretty good but modern science proves that our ancestors may have been right

Some horses like to lead with their left leg, others with their right. Punters put great store in this, especially if a horse has only won going one way around a track. That's until they win going the opposite way, which always makes me laugh.

if athletes ran anti-clockwise around a running track its likely some left footers would improve, and some right footers decline.
snail shells can be left or right handed, and they struggle to interbreed

Mostly right-handed but can write a little with the left. I use either for billiards. I prefer my left foot but was ok with my right as we had to train our weaker foot in the school team. The teacher who ran it would rant and rave about how Julian Dicks shouldn't be a professional because he is very one-footed and hence we did a lot of practice with our weaker feet. To this day I laugh when a player misses a shooting opportunity because they've tried to move the ball over to their preferred foot. It really wouldn't take much for them to become competent with both feet.

In ye olden days (but not that old, last century) left handers used to be punished in school if they used their left hand to write with and were forced to use their right. Latin word for left hand is "sinister", which was then linked to meaning evil/malicious etc. I totally believe it. I'd be all for putting them all in Wicker men and but the trendy PC snowflakes won't stand for it!

Irish people I know who went through their schooling system gave me the impression it was generally strict and religious and run by the Catholic church, so I was joking, but was a bit suspicious! I didn't know until I saw a documentary the other day that U2 met at an experimental non demoninational school in Dublin which was (and probably still is) rare.
In fact .. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denominational_education_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland#Church_schools "In the Republic of Ireland, the vast majority of the country's primary schools are owned or managed (or both) by religious organisations.[1] In 2007, and of the national total of 3,279 schools, 3039 (92.7%) were controlled by the Catholic Church, 183 (5.6%) were controlled by the Church of Ireland, 0.7% were controlled by other religious organisations while 1% were controlled by organisations which were not affiliated with any particular religion"
