It was a tragedy when Latin ceased to be a part of the college-prep curriculum. Not that the STUDENTS lost the language, but that future teachers did.
Indeed. And even more so, even for students, because learning Latin requires you to learn grammar. In my educational experience, I learned (in order): English (my native tongue); Spanish; Latin: Russian; and German. Latin helped especially with Russian, and to a lesser degree with German. As for English? Well, English grammar has been deprecated in recent years, along with spelling, so there you go.

And although this topic is near and dear to my heart, it is off-topic for this thread. So don't get me wound up.
