These “3 reasons” are pure fluff speculation. Learn Latin because it is structured? Learn Latin because it teaches you a new way to think? Cmon, learning any other language does the same. Yes, learning Latin helps with understanding the origin of some English patterns. But if you are a native English speaker, you don’t need that. If you’re learning English, then Latin is a total waste of time. You should learn Latin if you like Latin and want to read Latin. That’s about it. It won’t make you wiser. That is a laughable statement.
Learning Latin opens doors to original texts in history, science, and philosophy, making us wiser people. We understand how many can doubt the relevance and usefulness of Latin. However, classical education places a strong emphasis on Western cultural literacy, character formation, and appreciation of the true, good, and beautiful.

@@Classical_Conversations you’re no wiser for reading original texts in Latin as opposed to translations. If you want the experience of reading the texts as written by the original authors, then yes learn Latin. You want to appreciate poetry written in antiquity? Sure, learn Latin. Almost all other statements you make are true of any language. You can learn Chinese to learn a new way of thinking with the added benefit of being able to speak to over 1 billion speakers. You want to experience western literature? Learn French so you can read Hugo, Voltaire. Learn Italian for Dante and a gazillion others. I speak French, Italian, Mandarin and English. “Thinking differently” is grossly overstated by language promoters. I am also a scientist. Reading Newton in Latin would be a waste of time as opposed to reading him in modern English when it comes to science. If I’m a science historian? Sure, learn Latin. We should be honest about the benefits of learning a language. If you say “you’ll be wiser”, that needs to be backed up by facts, by studies. I can read Plato perfectly fine in English, I don’t need to learn Ancient Greek to understand him.
We can definitely understand that perspective! One great thing about The Math Map is that each year reviews similar questions at an advanced level. That classical approach to learning math will help you and your student read the questions.

@@Bluekittykat8 When is the Bible right? It's downright dangerous if you want to beat your wife and children go right ahead and follow the rules of that book.
You're wrong about pater and patriarchy. Yes, pater certainly meant father. However, patriarchy had a completely different meaning in Ancient Latin, than today's meaning. While the modern meanings of patriarchy and matriarchy give NO clues about their ancient meanings. Patriarchy meant "the father's rule" of divorce. In patriarchy, the father got the children after divorce. However, in matriarchy, by long legal traditions, the mother's rule prevailed. So, the mother got the children after divorce, even if these states were governed by men. Matriarchy did not mean a society governed by women. It only described the legal divorce laws of neighboring states. IOW, linguistically, the Ancient Latin, "patriarchy" and "matriarchy" are completely false friends of modern English. Though, I applaud you for learning a little about Ancient Latin, your explanation of "patriarchy" is wrong.
Learning a language is always beneficial! Classical education places a strong emphasis on Western cultural literacy, writing and rhetoric skills, and appreciation of the true, good, and beautiful. Latin is a crucial part of that process. Classical students who begin with Latin can go on to easily add other romance languages.

Math is definitely a challenge! Most people don't realize that learning the language of math is fundamental to becoming proficient. That's why The Math Map is perfect for homeschoolers who want to sharpen their skills.
The truth about maths is that only basic and financial maths is important but everything else is useless because you will forget it after you graduate let’s be honest
i have heard this argument so many times and every time it is just copium because so many jobs require at least basic knowledge of algebra and maybe calculus
The Math Map helps families to see that the whole world is founded on mathematical principals. We'd love to know if using The Math Maps causes you to see things differently too!
We're sorry to hear that you feel that way. The Math Map helps students to overcome their frustrations with math. We would love for you to try it and let us know what you think! classicalconversations.com/the-math-map/
This is so helpful to see a practical example of the Socratic method. I have a question: sometimes when I'm discussing things with my kids, I use questions to get them to think more deeply and critically about a topic, but I find myself asking questions to lead them to the answer that I know is right. Is that wrong? Am I just supposed to let them make their own conclusions?
This video was amazing. Tailor made for the short-attention span TikToc generation. You could have easily droned on from one location, but you livened it up. It's clear you put so much time in this. The many scene cuts and comical scenes keep one engaged, and yet you are conveying profundity by the pound. Masterful. Consider me subscribed.
