K I thought I should mention this after rereading your post. You mentioned "conversing". We don't really speak like that on everyday basis. Instead we would say something like this: (more 'informal' but we don't really have formal/informal standards)
"None of the children will know about it."
But it depends on what your context is.

YES! that's what i told my partner. The "none of the" sounds better than only the word "neither" since it kinda sounds incomplete. And also, the sentence was provided by our professor and i had to ask you guys because one of the questions was if that sentence structure is acceptable to native speakers. I got a yes from all of you who replied and im more than thankful! I'll use your answers as evidence when i present. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
FOR NATIVE AMERICAN SPEAKERS! So is the sentence—
"Neither children are going to know about it."
—acceptable to you? Does it sound wrong? Is it off? Do you use that kind of structure when conversing?
i really need your answers my dudes. Please PLEASE help out a struggling college student, i gotta pass this subject ಥ_ಥ
