Learning About Tolerance

I remember the lineups in highschool we all wanted to study spanish that sexy exotic language stirring our dreams to travel but a selected few where taken aside we were encouraged to learn latin you might have guessed that we were taught by nuns it turns out that we were strong students tagged most likely with potential I think they forgot to tell the teacher because I would rate the teaching at a grade two level when we were actually in grade twelve we didn’t complain and welcomed the break much to our chagrin truthfully it was bittersweet we did actually pursue latin again in grade thirteen for some of us it was because we felt deep down we had not learned enough the year before but hey! it was just another easy A plus turned out latin root words are used in medicine which was to be more or less useful in later life but how easily I digress… the most impressive thing I did learn in this latin class was conjugating and that feminine and masculine was now accompanied by a gender neutral and I was quite impressed with this mindblowing logic I guess if everyone had taken my boring latin course there would be much more tolerance in society today AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on March 1, 2020
