Thanks Thomas. We tried teaching BASIC to our students a few years ago, and it was not a success for the most part. Some of them understood the general concepts, but their brains have not developed to the point where they can do programming beyond the "Hello World" level. It was a frustrating experience for them and the teachers (George and I, both retired programmers).

Our students are 11-14 years old. It is a daily struggle to teach them anything more than just the basic 4 math operations.
