RubyPenn Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 When is it time to allow your kids to stop learning Latin? My 8th grader is good at it, but HATES it with a passion. He asks repeatedly if he can quit and I always say no, but I am now considering letting him because with our very busy schedule, we aren't getting to everything, and something needs to go. He will have to study Latin and Greek roots with Vocab from Classical Roots if I let Latin go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I suppose the better question is “Is Lstin still serving us?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Sure, if something needs to go, let it be the thing he hates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Another vote for dropping it. For me the thing I hated was flute. Dropping flute allowed me to pick up another language, which was something I wanted to do. Not having to do the thing I hated every day was a huge relief to me in high school. Huge.
