I was put into the Latin class in high school which my mother strongly disagreed with. Kids in Latin were expected to go on to university but my mother wanted me to learn typing and shorthand. Unfortunately the typing and shorthand class was looked down on as being for the “dumber” kids! So the school wouldn’t budge and Latin it was until graduation. The parents also wanted university for me but unfortunately pregnancy and marriage (bad one) put paid to all the dreams. C’est la vie.
Again we ask why these particular people were collected by the Marxes? Why would they take a mother but not her children? A man but not his wife? We just hope they had a dammed good reason for such heartlessness!
Poncho went through the whole training process years ago and decided it wasn’t for him.
