Net.kids, 02/20 - 03/06
Summarised by Ian Darwin, utcsstat!ian

Only about 20 articles (including several duplicates).

Baby furniture
	Is "Dimension 4" furniture, which grows with the kid,
	good, gimmick, or rip-off?
Home Schooling
	Recommendations on home schooling, including the
	address for the "Growing Without Schooling" newsletter
	by John Holt.
Re: Home Teaching - (nf)
	``Anyone smart enough to post an article to netnews can do
	a better job'' than the bozos in today's public schools.
Dealing with Family Disagreements
	One method of getting the family together: all sit around
	a table and write `what bothers me' lists.
	Sparked followsup about the particular tasks the kid
	in this family gets to do.
Re: What's in a name?
	Carried on from before. Several articles. Moving around
	to taking fathers' names (`, Jr.' and 'III'); several more
	articles.
Catch-22 for gifted... [special programs, skip-a-year, etc.]
	Wasting less of your life in a stupid school system is
	a Good Thing, but having to be `peer' with people several
	years older while growing up is a Bad Thing.
For Randy D. Smith only
	Why is this here? Because somebody gave out a wrong
	mail address, and the sender wanted everybody to see
	that he really was trying to get through to Randy.
Mothers stay home
	Working Mother stung by stereotype: ``all the other
	mothers stay home'' when picking the kid up from daycare.
	In fact the other mothers work too; how is this
	stereotype reinforced, and I wish it would leave me alone.
Superman vs Darth Vader
	Who would win if they fought? [Please send the correct
	answer by *mail* only, do not publish this secret information
	on the net...]
Jungle Gym Plans or Kits
	Request for places to get plans (or kits) to build 
	play structures, swings, ``Jungle Gym'' [tm?] style
	mini-gymnasium, etc. Several followups said that
	Popular Science and/or Popular Mechanics are good bets.
Cat's Cradle
	Posting of the Harry Chapin song (popular a few years
	ago) as a ``reminder of what's important with kids.''
An original LBJ
	A light bulb joke about two year olds. Not repeatable.

Keep those kids and letters coming, folks...
