Thanks!

By the way, the questions are starting to appear in the main section of the Education forum (one level up from here).

Is anyone permitted to join in on those threads?   I'm not as much of an expert but I see a couple of questions posted to which I might have something useful to add.  I didn't want to step in to an "ask the expert" situation though.

You should probably still wait for an answer from someone official, nightengale, but when I've done stuff like this on other forums, it's cool to jump in and discuss as long as it's not a situation where you're arguing with the expert. Adding something positive and helpful though, I can't see how that would hurt! And maybe you can ask some questions of your own as well, so that I don't feel silly asking 5 billion of my own- LOL, I don't even have a kid, but I'm curious!

Still wondering. . .

I'm Nancy Stein, and I think it would be great if other folks offered their insights!  Join on in!
