印度一所學(xué)校訓(xùn)練學(xué)生用雙手寫字的技能，在每堂45分鐘的課程中，有15分鐘手寫練習(xí)，目前全校300名學(xué)生都能用左右手同時寫字，這項獨特教學(xué)法吸引了不少專家學(xué)者的興趣。

這是一所令人不可置信的學(xué)校，學(xué)校校長對書寫練習(xí)古怪的追求，使得所有學(xué)生都能夠靈活用雙手書寫。

學(xué)校的創(chuàng)立者、退伍士兵夏爾瑪稱，他是受印度首位總統(tǒng)啟發(fā)，才要求學(xué)校教授這項課程的，那位總統(tǒng)是位雙手書寫者。

Headteacher Mr Sharma said: "I read in a magazine that Dr Rajendra Prasad India's first president used to write with both hands.
