Do hard things.

As homeschool parents, my wife and I have taken responsibility for educating our kids. The funny thing about teaching your kids Latin is that you first have to LEARN Latin.

Latin is a lot like #bitcoin because it requires proof of work. You trade time for knowledge. There are no shortcuts.

Aside from it being the genesis of the Romance languages (and a huge portion of English), there are lots of reasons to learn Latin. However, my top reasons are that it requires improving your pattern recognition, problem solving skills, and attention to detail. No sloppy thinking allowed.

Thanks, @Kanuto for the stickers - they’re a convenient way to help me keep my textbooks separated from the kids’ copies.
