You certainly are entitled to your opinion, but your reference to “Greek kids” is confusing. You are aware that the article discusses Biblical and pre-Biblical Greek, aren’t you, and not Greek spoken today by “Greek kids”???

That's even worse. Including anything like that in school materials is basically child abuse.

Wendy, I attended Catholic schools. I took two years of Latin. It was very useful to me, particularly since I now have a doctorate in one of the most competitive health professions. I would have been pleased to have had a year or two of classical Greek as well. I also regret not taking a year or more of French since so many of our English words are derived from that language.

Even though my verbal scores on the MCAT were in the 90 percentile, I still feel as if my education in the foundation languages ( Greek and French) of English was lacking.

In a free economy you would be completely free to educate your children as you wished.
