[quote=Anonymous]^ Sure, sure, sure. So why do so many high-SES families still leave, particularly between 8th and 9th? Much of what Latin is doing is great, it's also too little, too late for at least half the kids. Without ES GT programs, the poor kids best able to benefit from the classics curriculum and general rigor are often not identified, nurtured or recruited. I grew weary of my middle schooler sitting next to kids who couldn't handle the work (both high and low-SES), but were promoted anyway after making some effort. If Latin were a test-in school, I'd believe you, and I would have stayed for high school, in a heartbeat. Yes, Latin will continue to improve, but only so much without the sort of inputs other municipalities provide their most able and hard-working students, mainly peer group inputs. [/quote]
