Scarcely did I come to school late when I was a student.
Inverted Sentence is a type of sentence in which the verb/predicate is used before the subject. This is done to put more emphasis on the verb in the sentence.
The words 'never', 'seldom', and 'scarcely' are used in inverted sentences to show how unique the situation is and they are mostly used in a perfect form and include comparative terms.
I think this might mean that you or on the wrong side of an idea or topic . If you are on the other side you would be on the good/ right side of the fence
