I'm European, and my mothertongue is strictly derivated from Latin. In the 70% of High School Diplomas, Latin is really important subject, because really help the students in the total understanding of every word in their mother tongue. Also, we study latin because a lot of authors use latin for wrote their "essay", like Cicerone, Cesare, etc.. In some Classic HS Diploma, the students also study the ancient Greek. Latin is really good for understand our roots, our opera, our story, our tongue, and is a really good exercise for keep the mind elastic. P.S1: I'm speaking about Europe. P.S2: I have an HS Diploma in Computer Science, so I never study latin :P (Although I attend a little 3months courses, when I was a kid :P)
