Fun story. I took Latin the first year my school offered it as a second language, and they were required to offer any language a minimum of 3 years for the students who started it because it 3 years was required for some diploma programs.
After the first year, the teacher quit. So for the second year they hired a new guy who they were very excited about. He used to teach Latin on a live satellite broadcast to high schools and colleges, which was a huge deal to have accomplished in the 90s.
Well, it turned out he basically read scripts and has assistants give him answers when students called in questions to the hotline, and he didn't actually know how to teach Latin.
But the class was taught in a computer lab because some of the other Language classes has software for exercises.
And that's how I spent the entirety of Latin II playing Starcraft.
haha cool. best we had was an incompetent information systems teacher (pretty sure he was in the masons) who was never in the room. Anyway someone managed to sqiurrel simcity away somewhere on some of those PCs.
