...but children do worse at school

Following hot on the heels of a study that said left-handed men earn more than right handers, another study (this time from the University of Bristol) claims that left-handed children perform less well in tests compared to their right handed counterparts.

They based their findings on national curriculum test results (Sats) and IQ tests of over 10,000 children.

Hmmm. When I was at junior school, I was always in the top one to three in my class. And one of the other two was a left hander. So I take these studies with a generous pinch of salt. Anyhow, here's where you can read about the left handed study.
