Refusing to hear that I don’t make a habit of celebrating my birthday, my students ambushed me in my room to give me a cake and sing happy birthday to me in Latin.

Thinking abt this but from Phaedrus’ speech in relation to the endings of NGE and End of Evangelion, as phantoms and punishments. It’s interesting to me also that this version of the story is only found here in the Symposium

So. The AP Latin numbers for 2024 are horrific. The average score is a 2.77, compared to a 3.4 for Spanish and a 3.2 for French
But the really shocking one is
**20% of Latin testers got a 1 and another 23% got a 2.** Only 56% scored a 3+. In ESP only 3% got 1;
