Yes of course you can teach any age with it and we would like it used for everything. However there are many that would disagree with respect to the younger age groups who are getting good mileage with Scratch. No one will disagree about the age range 13 to 18 - at least certainly none of the hundreds of teachers I have spoken to. We have nearly a quarter of high schools in Scotland using LC to teach now for that reason. If we stick to pushing the areas we are strong we may pick up market share and reputation and that will be a great platform to expand our reach later.
