Hi, This phrase gets very close to the "18 must be accompanied by parents" movie rating system, will it imply, mistakenly, that the content is adult/X rated.
We chose to tag some of the projects in EtoysIllinos with grade level's because they are aligned with grade level content standards. The rest of the projects stand as they are without grade or age tags because curiosity has no age limit and because we assume that people who click on a project they don't understand will either stay with it until they do understand or click out right away and go to some other project.

I'm good with 16 and older ... but we'll ask the education team first.

Perhaps just call the age bracket "16 and older"?

Bert, Will the above 18 label carry connotations of the movie ratings: adult content? These ratings may not be in use world wide, I don't know. I think age is adding an unnecessary and complicating bit of information. Kathleen ---- Original message ----

But neither your age nor mine is within the age-ranges covered by the age pop-ups :-)
IMHO "Age" should be "Target Age", and it should cover everybody. This means we need two more choices: "under 6" and "above 18". And there needs to be a way to select multiple age groups, or at least add an "everyone" choice.
