I have actually studied the latin language for 3 years while in grade school. I have also studied many other things that at the time, I could not appreciate. Looking back, I am grateful for the exposure to the many different topics offered to me during my education. I can appreciate literature, I can see and recognize that there are 3 sides to every story. Actually, latin helped me understand and enjoy language in general, especially our english language. Everything has a history and it can be most enjoyable exploring it.

Many subjects are not for everyone but if offered the opportunity, one should take what they can. I once read (and I won't say where) that you should never read beyond a word you do not understand. That is a lot harder than you may think.

I guess what I am saying is, take what you can from any and every opportunity!

here's my $.02 on education:
most places it's done wrong
I have had wonderful literature completely ruined for me by teachers who felt that we needed to shred every turn of a phrase down to it's essential nutrients
yet I've also had the rare teacher who could make a subject I had previously no interest in, come alive and spark my attention
I believe that interest in things beyond what is of use to me is what distinguishes me from a mere drone, so I really like those rare teachers that can open a window in a blank wall

[ConcinusMan]

I agree totally Rhea.

Hey check this out. Ummm.... OUCH?

My 8th grade English teacher was like that, but when I hit 9th grade my teacher was absolutely boring and would constantly go on and on and on. It kind of turned me off to literature. I have a hard time reading anyways, so when it's just for school I don't like wasting my time on it.
