I was wondering how many people learned Latin in school? The idea of teaching Latin to children as young as third grade is a big part of the Classical Education movement, that a lot of homeschoolers of gifted children subscribe too. Our family is not a homeschooling family, but I did learn Latin when I was in school. As a parent, I would rather my children learn Spanish.
Here are some of my reflection on learning Latin, as well as those of some of my friends from the San Diego Seminar program:
