<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3644832, member: 72790&quot;]I was blessed with a Classical education whether I wanted one or not. Latin was mandatory at my high school. At the university I attended, more Latin and yes, even Greek. Philosophy and theology classes were taught in Latin and the textbooks were in Latin (late 1950&#039;s to mid 1960&#039;s). I would have continued these Classical studies but switched to history as I wanted to teach and already I could see the writing on the wall. There were many more openings in the teaching of history than the classics. Still, I managed to give my history students much more of Classical Greece and Rome than they otherwise ever would have gotten. It also enabled me to enjoy the collecting of ancient coins and artifacts. That education also allowed me the gift of perspective, to see that there was, indeed, nothing new under the sun. By the way, there is nothing wrong with studying modern languages as well. Language is the vehicle of culture. Learn the language, learn the culture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
