And I remember sitting in detention every friday afternoon during a Latin lesson in my junior high school (about ten years ago). However, I can't remember if this was just a passing experiment, or did the Latin teaching really continue... I do remember, that we weren't the only school in Tampere (approx. 200 000 inhabitants) were Latin was taught. And I guess that some of the workers' institutes in Finland do teach Latin as well. So Latin is alive and kicking here among the Northern barbarians

Thanks for the link AnnaStrophic, interesting article!
