    RRR92: Latin - Dead Language or Living Foundation?

    Is Latin really worth your time—or is it an outdated subject with little practical value in today’s world? In this episode, Ro takes an honest look at one of the most debated topics in education. From the claim that Latin is a “dead language” to the argument that it’s one of the most powerful tools for developing strong thinkers, we unpack both sides. We also address the real concerns—time, relevance, and opportunity cost—and help you determine whether Latin aligns with your goals for your child and your homeschool. If you’re trying to balance rigor with rhythm, depth with capacity, and long-term formation with everyday practicality… this conversation is for you.
