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.

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

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.

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!;)

Wonder what happens when daddy comes back home.
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'.)

So was just playing a little on the Android version (2nd chapter is way better than other Android VN games I've tried, especially the buttons are big enough), and came to the point where we discovery that Martha is pregnant, since that's the choice I made. Then she's mentioning names, now I'm wondering if there is going to be issues of names amongst the women, maybe some conflict on same choices of names (sorry, read a few Reddit posts about baby naming issues).

Oh well, just a random thought. Now Tropecita will have to come up with 20-40 names.

I play another avn where you can have kids with the female character. Some of them will have up to 6 or more kids. I just start A names and work my way down the alphabet and back up again. Don't know if we actually see kids in this.
