My son has expressed an interest in taking Latin next year in High School.
He'll be a freshman, he's had two years of Spanish and wants to switch.
Me, I'm thrilled. I can't get out of him why exactly he wants to take it. I know a number of his private school friends take it.
His mom, she thinks he should keep taking Spanish and is recommending against it.
I think he has the potential of using Latin the rest of his life. Knowing the word roots will benefit him in whatever he does...if he decides to enter medicine, science, theology, law...and who knows what else it'll give him a head start...
Anyone got ammo for me or a reason I shouldn't enter this arms race?
