7. Dropping Latin from school curricula was a huge mistake,
in my opinion. I took two years of Latin in 9th and 10th grade and it has helped me immensely with words throughout my life. It's the reason that I can read and understand several Romance languages (even though I can't speak them) because they all have a Latin base.
