I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto.

The motto was "l hear, I see, I learn" Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for "l hear, I see, I learn" is "audio, video, disco

Your yearly reminder that "l learn through suffering" can be translated into Latin as "Disco Inferno"

Wow, thank you very much! Now I just hope that I can keep up the motivation!

But if I may ask, what got you into teaching Latin? From my limited point of view there are not many people really into it and most of the time it's a requirement for other fields.

I started taking Latin in college and got immersed in it and other languages, it stimulates the analytical side of my brain quite nicely. I ended up getting a degree in Classical Studies, then looped back and got my teaching credentials when grad school admissions in my field got bombed into oblivion by the crash in '08.
