    I took Latin in high school, and the teacher in Latin 3 would quiz us on vocab periodically. One kid never knew the answers, would always say “I don’t know”. So one day, the teacher calls on the kid, asks him a Latin 1 word - nescio*. Kid says “I don’t know”. Teacher says “YES!”

    * Nescio means “I don’t know”

      That sound an awful lot like the teacher who refused to give me an F like most others in class.

      Unlike them I didn’t cheat …
