My kids both took/are taking Latin. Not my idea! I think learning a living language - whichever one it is - is much more useful. I learned French in high school, German in college and spent enough time in both countries to speak both languages fluently.

Our district offers Italian, French and Spanish in addition to Latin. They are thinking of adding Greek - not because there is any demand that I know of, but the Latin teacher would love to teach it. Her dissertation is in Greek literature.
