The first - and most obvious - obstacle presents itself the moment the lefty enters the classroom and finds themselves confronted with the right handed desk - righty can sit down and get to work immediately, while the poor downtrodden left handed person has to enact a miniature game of Twister just to be able to use the desk in a remotely practical way. And once they're comfortable yet more problems immediately present themselves.
