Relax, already.

Latin has a great deal to recommend it: among other things, the meanings of the words don't change every few months (cf. "bad.")

Besides, any 6th-grader can learn Latin. Five of my children did at that age (the rest were deprived by their "Catholic" archdiocesan-grade-school education.)

Thank you, ninenot. Anybody with a halfway decent grasp of English should be able to figure out Latin pretty quickly.

Of course, the church and Catholic Schools could START TEACHING IT AGAIN. SAT scores would jump on the verbal.
