Today in Class: Midterms
I'm grading midterms. (So I'm two weeks late in grading them. Don't judge me.)
Question #5. What did Socrates mean by his quote, "All I know is that I know nothing?" Apply your answer to his philosophy.
Kid's Answer: That means people think they know alot of thinks, but when all said and done they dont really know nuthing.
Darn us, all thinking we know a lot of thinks.
[Edited to add: I just got to the kid whose answer on the question about linking the Epic of Gilgamesh to Ancient Sumerian belief systems was simply: "Gilgamesh was a douchebag." It's not the right answer, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to give him partial credit.]
