[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS had the option to take Latin in 9th grade.   We decided go the modern language route as he already had one year of Spanish under his belt going into high school.  The issue with Latin is that some colleges do not accept that as a language requirement, so if you want to go to a college with this stipulation, you would need to take another three years of a modern language.[/quote]

i don't know about that. . I went to UMBC which is definitely not the most fancy or liber artsy of colleges but Latin def. fulfilled the language requirements. If a second tier (I'm being kind- i was a terrible student) like UMBC accepts Latin this shouldn't be a problem. Latin def. helps in SAT/GRE and just is enriching, my kids are in preschool but I am planning on having them do at least a year of Latin, most probably more and we are a bilingual (non Romance language) household. Latin teaches you to manipulate language and also how classic thinkers manipulated words and played with ideas and concepts. You should totally do it!
