No way! The sheer concentrated neurosis on display in that forum is HILARIOUS! You can't break that up!

No. It already barely gets traffic compared to the rest.

Why not "Middle School Kids" and then "High School and Above Kids"?

I agree. Elementary is roughly ages 5-10. 11-12 year olds are tweens.

If a thread is about a 7 or 8 year old, report it and ask that it be moved to the elementary forum.

I don't think this is necessary. It's more important that people who are posting say what age their child is.

Jeff, can you please break up the Tweens/Teens forum into one Tween forum and one Teen forum?
