Noah has to compile the information, write a research paper and then setup a display. I think mom can enlist a few people to fill out the little survey for him.
I agree....if he is doing all the work...there is no problem with Mom going to an adult forum and asking on his behalf...and in fact I think it's a great thing to branch out to multiple venues.

However, guess what? Those of us that have our children in public or private school are just as involved in our children's education and find it just as fun, exciting and even rewarding. Imagine that.

Just 0, then 2-n.
done - but I have read one paper book in the last 90 days, and there was no room for that, so put 2-4. Good luck!

Done. I assumed in my answer to #1 that by "ereader" Noah was including cell phones and other mobile devices.
Good luck!

I don't think she meant that you had to home school your kids to feel that way. As I've read her posts, it is unclear whether she is home schooling this particular son at the moment.
