knowing my phone this will delete, but whatever.
I'm a strong believer in Classics being taught from a young age. I started Latin later than some people I know (aged 11) yet it's enriched my understanding of my own language no end. It's enjoyable and aids learning other languages, analysis and reading for detail. I taught Latin to primary school children, they loved it. And these weren't posh brats, they were deprived children in a grotty area of manchester. Latin is fantastic, and shouldn't be only for private schools.
Plus it's got loads of naughty words.

It's a lovely idea
but you can't teach Latin to kids who can't read English

Especially since you taught me the phrase 'tu ingens pelicator.'
