Trevor, I think the idea is that learning Latin actually helps with both scientifc and lingual abilities.

However, I agree that we should teach them other languages than just their own and ancient. Something that will help them in a world full of bilingual ppls. Oriental, asian, and romantic languages are all excellent to learn. Mine are learning Italian and Spanish...slowly but surely.
