Can we stop with the one-liners that have no thought behind them?  I am
teaching a class right now where 1/2 of the students are > 30 years old.  Are
_they_ children?  I distinctly said "college".  IE beyond grade 12.  I often
have one or two students in class that are _older_ than I am, this being a
graduate/Ph.D. program as well as an undergraduate program.

BTW, I don't call _anyone_ 19 years old or more a "child".  They are "adults".
Unless we are sending children off to fight wars.  And letting children vote.
