...natural offspring of book clubs for adults, parent-child discussion groups--such as this one, which meets monthly in Wilmette, Ill.--have grown increasingly popular in recent years. Although the mother-daughter combination remains the most common configuration, mother-son, father-son and father-daughter groups also are coming together in libraries, bookstores and private homes across the country...

My mother taught high school chemistry for more than three decades, a year of which was spent with 120 kids in addition to her own son spilling into her classroom daily. The co-existence of the mother-son and student-teacher relationships made that year particularly interesting. Because the parent was the teacher, there was no communication barrier to overcome. At home we could talk about assignments or concepts as if engaging in regular conversation. The school building was as much of a home as the structure...
