All schools have a motto_ good ones have theirs written in Latin, modern ones make up some sickly P.C. assortment of random words such as:
'Striving to Improve our Lives!
or:
'Education for All!'
Ours is a take on the classic Meatloaf song 'Two out of Three ain't bad!' but with the numbers changed to reflect our rather lower ambitions:
Num malum ex decem duo!
is inscribed above our School door
ps Thanks to the poster who corrected my spelling mistake. Please feel free to submit your own school mottos_worst one wins a free copy of my book (maybe)

What's that mean?
'Two' and 'Ten' I recognise but not the rest
isn't malum 'bad'? (Mal in French is bad)
So 'something bad something ten two' Doesnt make much sense to me.
"Surely that's not bad: 2 out of 10"
It should be "duo"
Didn't any of you guys read the clear reference to the Meatloaf song?
Haha! Or School has 'Learning For Life' as its motto, which basically means you learn about chavvy scumbags and how they can do what they want in a classroom. Fo' Life!
It translates-
'Two out of ten ain't bad'
Hi Chalk,
Love your book at the moment but that's not the reason I am writting this comment :D. Want to know my school motto? Try "Excelence, Trust and Compassion".
"In nothing go to far - know yourself"
Honestly - Carisbrooke High School check it
