[WEB4LIB] RE: Why do children like big type?

[Kim Lord]

I have found too, with kids that are still fairly young but have papers to
do they seem to think they can get past 
the page requirement by making the type bigger.  The first time they pass
in a 2 page paper with 20 font is usually the last time
it happens though.  (kids around 5 grade or so.)
