I was forced to study Latin for 5 years - and that was in a Computer Science oriented high school.

Nobody yet sent me back in time.

Italy, stay away if you have kids :)

And the curriculum in my high school is still the same.

3hrs of Latin out of 27hrs per week for 3 years.

3hrs of Latin out of 30hrs per week for 2 years.

More than 10% of my high school was Latin.
