Almost more likely to mix up Mexican names for South American names; but yea, unless you're into linguistics -- or dead languages in particular -- most likely not on her curriculum.

In my time, remember I'm old as dust, Latin was mandatory in 2nd grade High School (15y.o.) for everyone. Then you wouldn't see Latin for the rest of your education if you chose the STEM or the Socio-economic paths. You only see it again in the Humanistic (getting ready for degrees in History, Philosophy, etc.) and Social paths (for degrees in Law, Medicine, etc., and for people allergic to maths).

I said "my time". Just as a clarification, Latin was already a dead language then

It was just an elective in my high school. You had to pick a language, but it was just one of the options. I doubt it's even offered before college anymore (I don't know this, but ...).

Nah, never came up for me in HS either.

 

[TigerWolfe]

Two different HSs on opposite sides of the US in the early 00s and Latin wasn't even an elective option. My oldest child's HS currently, doesn't have it as an option either.

I grew up Catholic, so not only did I have to learn Latin in HS, I had to learn it for the church also. Of course that was many many many many years ago. I am older than dirt I think.

 

[JayDub47]

my HS only offered Spanish as a foreign language, and the teacher had been a missionary in some central american country (forgot which being that the class was over 17 years ago), though I did have Latin in either my 7th or 8th grade (age 12/13-13/14, years 2001/02 or 2002/03) and that had been for biology

 

[Trope95]

In my time at HS (starting in '86, HS then lasted for 3+1 years, the last year being optional and only useful if you wanted to go to college) we had different language programs:
Spanish and Catalan during the 4 years (4 hours/week each). In other places in Spain, Catalan was replaced with the local language (Euskera or Galician) or replaced by other topics.
Foreign language, to choose between English and French, during the 4 years (4 hours/week)
Latin was mandatory in 2nd grade (15-16 y.o.) for everyone (3 hours/week IIRC). From 3rd grade on you had to choose between 4 branches:
STEM: No Latin (that was mine)
Socio-Economic: Latin as an option
Socio-Humanistic: Latin as an option
Humanistic: Choose between Latin and classical Greek. The other one was optional.

HS in Spain has changed a lot since I was there. Now they start younger and do 4+2 years (the first 4 being mandatory for every Spanish kid, until they are 16). Latin is not mandatory anymore for all that I know, but every HS should offer it to the 15-16y.o. students as an option. In the last 2 years of HS the 4 branches from above are now... 8 I think, but I'm not too sure how it works.

To keep the post on topic, I can't see Daphne or Scarlett choosing Latin as an option if that means rejecting a scientific topic.

O que seria HS mesmo?

Until the late 1970's at college/university if you were pre-med track you had to take at least on term of Latin and Greek. I don't remember my high school offering those classes. But when I was taking my flight medic class for the Air Force we had a whole week of Latin and Greek. You started high school in 1986? You puppy you!

High School, secondary education.

Wonder what happens when daddy comes back home.

I don't think he will. He wouldn't be welcome either.

 

[S1nsational]

Well he cheated, and to his knowledge is still cheating. Also, to his knowledge his life is still in danger.

So yea, I can't see dear old dad coming back.

Father is, by the rule of porn games, either dead by the time of game or running away from his family due to middle life crisis with new love of his life every two weeks. There is no exceptions. If you brake it you will be taken away by the Spanish Inqusition and tortured by sitting in a comfy chair for the remaining of your very short life while working on new Big Brother game. Surely you wouldn't want doom Trop to such grave fate, right?

Well, the world can always use a few more Ericks, right? (Yes, I just mentioned 'he who must not be named'.)
