Legal Learning, GED/HiSET Lesson Plan Day 37/67, and Ancient Greek?

Adapting requires many different types of flexibility as with Day 37/67, Five Month GED, adaptations, and Adulting.

     Studying, or even mere exposure to, various languages helps people to become and to stay flexible both intellectually and even emotionally (in learning to see from other perspectives).

Adapting to a changing climate and world

are all crucial to the democratic process, as well.

Language exposure is known to increase adaptability, but why, then, have we abandoned the teaching of classic historical languages that explain the bases of western society, like Ancient Greek and Hebrew?  How can one adapt to changing situations without knowing how things got to be this way, and how can that be understood without some modicum of understanding of the originating ways of thinking that got us to this point?  A language, especially one which has been studied by those considered to be ‘cultured’ for many years, is important to understand at least in passing, no?  Or at the very least, Biblical Hebrew as a reference for a non-Indo-European language family, and modern Greek as a reference for much of the modern anglophone vocabulary.  These studies would provide a leg up for most of the standardized testing, and much more understanding of how differently others see the world, through the lens of different grammatical frameworks.

Or, Turkish?

Phase I of Project Do Better begins by encouraging both language learning and legal learning, for the long term benefit of society and individuals.
