Title: News Article: Latin in a Bronx High School
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/29/education/29education.html?_r=1&oref=slogin At a Bronx School, Latin Is the Root of All Learning By JOSEPH BERGER Published: November 29, 2006 The three-year-old Bronx Latin School, one of New York’s multiplying number of small themed public middle and high schools, is gambling that teaching Latin will initiate poor and working-class students into the mysteries of how any language — especially English — works by illuminating the long-neglected art of grammar and enriching their English vocabulary with Latin roots. The school’s larger purpose is simple: to get students, most of them “struggling with literacy,” as the founding principal, Leticia Pineiro, said, to read and also do math at grade level or better.

Title: News Article: Language Crisis Facing UK Schools
Body: From the GuardianUnlimited, http://education.guardian.co.uk/schools/story/0,,1962813,00.html Language crisis facing UK schools Anushka Asthana, education correspondent Sunday December 3, 2006 Language teaching in England and Wales is in crisis. Fifty leading academics have written to The Observer this weekend to express alarm about the slump in the number of teenagers taking GCSEs in foreign languages. A letter signed by professors and heads of language departments from dozens of top universities, including Oxford, Cambridge and the London School of Economics (LSE), calls for the government to reverse its controversial policy allowing pupils to drop languages at 14. The move, that came into force two years ago, embedded the notion that 'languages do not matter, that English is enough', the letter says.
