On Wednesday I met with my Greek class for the last time to give them their final exam. This is our classroom. It's mainly used for education classes, which is why there are so many decorations on the wall, but there is one sign that this was an ancient Greek classroom: the dry-erase board at the back of the room, where my students liked to write their favorite Greek words.
Before class on Wednesday they wrote "
oudepopote," which I have to admit is a funny-sounding word (it means "never ever") and "
panu ge" ("certainly"), which is what people always say whenever Socrates asks them anything. Neither of those expressions were on their final exam.
