I know, horses and water and all that. Their future at the end of the day, not mine.
So they don't know the alphabet in English? Last time I checked, the French alphabet is the same as ours, barring accents.
I guarantee that you would have advanced at least 25% quicker had you had a rudimentary grasp of Latin. Absolutely guarantee it.
One swallow does not a summer make. I wonder if he feels the same way in five years when he tries to get a job whilst being functionally illiterate.
How to say it :rolleyes:

it seems to me that broken angel has different educational values and interests to yours. different strokes for different folks. accept and move on rather than telling her to read fucking plato. however if you wanna continue massaging your ego and go through a literary itinerary with someone who has just started secondary school (im assuming based on age) then please go ahead.
Vocational learning should supplement traditional learning, not replace it. Maths, English and Science are fundamental, not only to one's progression through education, but to society as a whole. A career without basic literacy and numeracy skills? Forgot it.
Yet apparently, people are forgetting it. Otherwise stories like this wouldn't appear.
If you'd actually read what I'd written, you'd realise that firstly, I wasn't recommending she "read fucking plato", and secondly, it was to debate the merits of Classics, not to continue massaging my ego.
It might be more apt for you to start a thread in the P&D forum rather than attacking an innocent thread about an enjoyable class project.
my bad, fucking Cicero then.
Of course, but people are still entitled to like or dislike something. ESPECIALLY something like compulsory education. I'm not saying that it shouldn't be compulsory but I think people really get the chance to shine when they reach the age that they can make a choice over what they want to do in life even if it isn't wetting yourself over Crime and Punishment.

Ignorance is bliss.
My religous teacher said today "This would be so much easier if you all spoke Latin!" {When talking about extracts from the Bible}

And that Borris Johnson whats everyone to learn it. Just thought I'd let you know

I can see how it may be useful, but personally I would not want to take Latin.
