Talk:Programming for kids

Could you please consider renaming this page as Programming for Children as the expression "kid" when referring to a child is regarded as slang and disparaging by some people.

- Well, this is an American project, not a British one. In America, kid is not slang. In any case, any open source project is inherently international and we all just have to learn to accept that many people do not use English the same way that we do.
- If anything, it goes the other way in the USA. While both words may be used to belittle, "child" is more often chosen for this.
