French Lyceum. third grade. learning by rot the history of France and the French people.   called to the blackboard , i began ” our ancestors the Gauls…..”  i stopped:”  teacher, i don’t think my ancestors were the Gauls!!!”  teacher looked up from her rimmed glasses,  gave me a zero mark and sent me to my desk.  to this day, am still confused…  to be or not to be a Gaul? that’s my  question
