Offer Ancient Greek courses in high schools
The Issue
In most secondary schools, students are offered Latin as a course but why not offer ancient Greek as well? For one Greece, unlike Rome, is still a country to this day. Latin is offered in school to help with English and to learn how the romans lived. We think that Ancient Greek should be a course as it can help in math since many mathematical concepts originate from the Greek civilization. If you don't believe us Pythagoras is a well known example. Additionally most roman mythologies are expropriated from Greek mythology. Although some might say that we don't need a course dedicated solely on the ancient Greek civilization, we could say the same for roman civilization in the form of Latin class.
