As a homeschooling family, my 3 sons have had years of Latin. Latin was one of several classes that they took outside the home. It really helped my 2 oldest sons when they took their college tests - SAT, ACT - for the verbal section of the tests. My middle son - took 7 years of Latin - beginning in the 3rd grade. In his last year of Latin, his class translated the Gospel of John from Latin into English and read Julius Caesar in Latin. My youngest son - in the 7th grade is in his 4th year of Latin. He also takes Greek.

And yes - for those who think they "need a life" (hahaha) - they are very well-rounded individuals who enjoy all types of sports, play musical isntruments and have many other interests, as well.

Just my .02 worth...

My son did 6 years of Latin in our homeschool. He's a senior this year, dual enrolled at university, where he has chosen to take a year of Russian. He says he will go back to Latin next year when he goes away to college.

Kudos to you ma'am. You children will thank you for it. Mine are older and I wish I had started them on Latin.
