Thoughts on accessibility ...

... relative to other recent FACs. Michael Jackson will be read by fifth graders (maybe younger). Force, as a geenral concept, will be read by eighth graders in science class (it needs to be far more generally accessible than this article). Relational database is a term introduced to middle-schoolers when they are learning Microsoft Access as part of Microsoft Office (in our local schools, that is eighth grade in public school, fifth grade in private school). I programmed relational databases before any canned software existed, I understand the terminology; I don't find that article necessarily accessible or clear to the level that is taught to children in middle school when they start using laptops and learning Microsoft Office. This article will not be read by middle schoolers, and it will be read by only some highschoolers. I think the accessibility is fine, and I didn't struggle with any of it.
