Should Latin Be Offered as a Secondary School Elective?

[Marnie]

My high school offers Latin, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, and American Sign Language. There's four years of each class. You need three language credits to graduate.

Although the kids I know who take Latin say the teacher is insane and they haven't learned much.

I learned Greece and Latin for three years on highschool. It's nice if you want to study medicines, literature or visit a church but I wish I spent more time on English.

Actually, with most of these fucking kids, I listen to them and don't think they are speaking English anyway.

[Something completely different]

Once we have regained our power, you all will be speaking german anyway!

When I was in high school, kids said the same thing about 86.2% of the teachers. Just sayin'.

I take German and I can actually speak and write in German.

I have a math teacher who is useless though. He laughs when you ask questions, has stopped posting notes and reviews online, has NEVER posted homework on blackboard (in class he doesn't give you long enough to copy the work and hardly even enough time to check), he is never anywhere to be found, he teaches by writing the work on the board without any explanation, tells us to do some questions, and then leaves the room.

So yeah. Some teachers are useless.

I have a GCSE in Latin, it was kinda useful for doing Classical Civilizations.
