Latin Teachers
Michael Yates
Mike's interest in Latin began when he was in sixth grade after his teacher taught a class on English words that had Greek and Roman origins. He became fascinated with words as well as the ancient Roman civilization from which several of those words originated. He studied Latin through high school and college and obtained his B.A. in Classical Languages from Siena and his MS in Education from SUNY Albany. He is a NYS certified teacher currently teaching at South Glens Falls High School.
When asked why we should study Latin Mike says:
"I think that every student can benefit from the study of Latin and Roman
culture. The benefits apply equally to students who plan to enter the
work force as well as to those students who plan to enter college. The
knowledge, skill and understanding gained from the study of Latin give those
individuals an advantage over their peers who have not studied Latin.
A precise method of thinking, the ability to figure our what "big words"
mean, and an appreciation and acceptance of an ancient culture, name just a
few benefits.
