I wish I had had the opportunity to learn Latin at school (my high school only taught French).
As a geographer/geologist it would have made my university life so much easier since so much of earth science is based in latin terminology not to mention all the taxonomy and classifications.
I remember I spent a lot of time looking up latin to get the taxonomic meanings out of a lot of the fossils and fauna I used to work with while at uni.
Even in my working life we still referred to most species by their "latin" classifications rather than their standard names, since standard names can be applied to more than one species and cause ambiguity.
Personally as someone from a science background I think there is still value having it as a language our children can learn particularly if they wish to pursue the sciences.
As Gokimus experienced, even medicine rely heavily on it.
Latin isn't as "dead" as everyone assumes.
