The Future of Latin: Who Will Teach the Next Generation of Latin Students? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For nearly twenty years, I have taught Latin.Now, for the first time in my career, I won’t.My school’s decision to phase out Latin was made several years ago. The final students just completed the program. We finished with 29 AP Latin students in that final cohort, which I am very proud of.But that experience has made the title of this series feel considerably less theoretical.When we talk about The Future of Latin, there is a very practical question underneath everything else:Who will tea
