[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tired  of hearing people criticize Sela because they don't like Hebrew. 
The founders got their act together, wrote an application to the Charter school board and got in. 
It benefits lots of kids (majority AA) who would not have the benefit of another language otherwise (proven benefits for brain development).

And please, spare me the argument of "nobody speaks Hebrew". 
Latin is a dead language but that does not disturb anyone -- 
Another language is another language is another language ...[/quote]

This is totally crazy. Another language is NOT another language etc! Latin is the very root of almost all of English as well as the other related languages. That is its usefulness. [/quote]

First off, most words used day to day in English are germanic. Secondly, the vast majority of Latin derived vocabulary in English came via Norman French, so to understand the roots of English you're better off learning French, which as an added bonus is actually used by tens of millions of people around the world.

Latin is important because of its role in the history of western culture.  Hebrew has similar importance. [/quote]

No, Latin also helps you learn other languages ie French, Spanish, Italian, and English.  :roll: [/quote]
