When you search 9-12. Why does it give you younger grades? Is it because it includes all grade 12 links?
Melissa Henning
7:45 PM
The search results would include anything that has grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. Some sites are created for 4-9, for example. So that would be included in a search for grades 9-12. Does that make sense?
Sharon Hall
7:45 PM
it will give you younger grades if they happen to have to fit in the same category - for example, some sites may be labeled as grades 5-12 so they will show up
