Begun on the Fidonet hobbyist network, K12Net is now also
carried on many Usenet systems and provides a host of interesting and
valuable services. These include international chat for students,
foreign-language discussions (for example, there are French and
German-only conference where American students can practice those languages
with students from Quebec and German). There are also conferences aimed
at teachers of specific subjects, from physical education to physics.
The K12 network still has limited distribution, so ask your
system administrator if your system carries it.
