[Opinions] Go placidly amid the noise and haste...
Desiderata means "desired things" in Latin. it was the name of this poem that everyone had lacquered to cross sections of stumps and on plaques featuring frolicking kittens and stuff in the 1970s. I think it was mandatory that everyone had this poem hanging somewhere in their house ca. 1976. As a name it's a bit frilly for me, and I've only heard it pronounced like your teacher said.
