<p>fogcity–thanks–I will drill down further with him and ask what is behind his thinking. It could be the fact that I have been promoting Latin for years, but he seems intent on ignoring the rest of my course selection advice, so he must have his own reasons.</p>
<p>entomom–thanks! Much relieved on behalf of HS Jr. Of course, this may provide another reason for second son to continue studying Spanish instead of picking up Latin and having to then study it for four years.</p>
<p>Thank you both!</p>
