When need was young, you weren't allowed to BE left handed, even if you were. They forced you to do things right handedly, so Ned learned to do the things he does with his right hand, but in his soul he is left handed, as he's always had to work really hard at learning things with his right. He wanted to change the world for the better.

My dad is like that. He writes with his right hand because he was beaten at school by the nuns if he tried to do anything with his left hand, but he essentially does everything else with his left. It was quite a traumatic experience for him.

His parents never would've done that. Wouldn't. Couldn't.

While you are most definitely correct his parents wouldn't do that; schools back then absolutely did enforce that and he clearly did still go through school.
