Well, my kids and I are doing our best to learn Greek and Latin, with the help of Classical Academic Press and Classical Conversations homeschool group. (Zero thanks to public school ...)

It was not always so.

I took four years of Latin in the early 1960s (at a public high school, no less!) and have never regretted doing so. There were actually two full time Latin teachers at that one high school.

I still live in the same area, and I don't believe Latin is taught anywhere in the district (with about 90,000 students in K through 12) anymore. Pity.

Kudos to you for teaching it (and Greek) to your children.
