Accordion
-
Don’t use them.
Use a Columns component.
This is the best practice.
-
Accordions hide content.
Users must click the title to expand the content.
Users will either be too lazy to click the accordion title, or not know to do so.
Either way, you will hear the words, “I didn’t see it on your website” or “That’s not on your website”.
You cannot auto expand these.
You will have to place a columns component and then copy and paste the information, effectively doing the same job twice.
Do the job right the first time.

Does this feel like clickbait? If you said no, you’ll never believe what more than 70% of all Putnam County residents said.
Seriously, an accordion is like clickbait, in that you have to click to get more information. It’s also more work for you to format information in an accordion than simply typing it out in a columns component. Do you have that much free time?
As Mae West never said, “If you’re going to put information on the internet, make it easy to find and don’t work harder.”
As far as the neuroscientists, I have no idea what they had to say about this.

Columns
This is an example of three columns. I justified column 1 to the right, column 2 centered, and column three left justified. I added a picture just because. You don’t have to add a picture.
This is column 1. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram – a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet. She sells seashells by the seashore is a tongue twister. "A man, a plan, a canal – Panama" is an example of a palindrome.

The Kitchie Boy (Child 252) is a traditional English-language folk song. I didn't know the tune but I used an ai music generator https://aimusic.so/app and told it the style was ethereal, dreamy, flute. Lyrics: It was a king, and a verra greit king, An a king o muckle fame, An he had a luvelie dauchter fair, An Dysie was her name. She fell in love wi the kitchie-boy, An a verra bonnie boy was he, An word has gane till her father dear, An an angry man was he. `Is it the laird? or is it the lord? Or a man o high degree? Or is it to Robin, the kitchie-boy? O Dysie mak nae lee.' `It's nae the laird, nor is it the lord, Nor a man o high degree, But it's to Robin, the kitchie-boy; What occasion hae I to lee?' `If it be to Robin, the kitchie-boy, As I trust weel it be, The morn, afore ye eat meal or drink, Ye'll see him hanged hie.' They have taen Robin out, His hair was like threads o gold; That verra day afore it was night, Death made young Dysie cold

The Spy Vs. Spy Guys -
Why This Won't Work Well For Adopters
“But it's great, and it lays out the pictures horizontally!”
Yes, but you have no effective control over the size. You see those six on top? You see those two below? Those are both set to a small size. The spy-vs-spy guys are much larger than the bus. Each row can have a maximum of 6 pictures. If you had 7 adopters, even if you put 4 in the first row and three in the second, the row of three pictures will have pictures larger than the row of four. That means you have four unhappy adopters.
You also cannot have text without a picture with these. In between the spy-vs-spy guys and the table, I omitted a picture and simply put in a caption that said, “No picture, just a caption”. Because there’s no picture, the caption does not show.
If you think you can make it work, go ahead. I'm just warning you of the caveats.

Six PCSS Schools Recognized for Achievement and Growth
PUTNAM COUNTY, TENN. - The Tennessee Department of Education has recognized six Putnam County Schools with “Reward School” status.
Algood Middle, Burks Elementary, Capshaw, Cornerstone Elementary, Prescott South Middle, and Sycamore Elementary were named Reward Schools for the 2022-2023 school year by demonstrating high levels of performance or improvement in performance by meeting their annual measurable objectives across performance indicators and student groups.
The six schools are the most Putnam County has ever had in a single school year.
“We are extremely proud of the students, faculty, and staff at the reward schools, Putnam County School System Director of Schools Corby King stated. “Being named a reward school by the Department of Education recognizes the daily hard work and dedication to student growth and achievement at those schools. All PCSS schools are committed to providing a high-quality education for all students every day, and these schools are among the best across the state of Tennessee.”
More than 400 schools in the state have been designated Reward Schools by the TDOE for having an overall federal accountability score greater than or equal to 3.1 out of 4.0. The Reward School designation is the highest distinction a school can earn by scoring in the top 5 percent in the state.
“Congratulations on this identification for exemplifying student success in achievement and growth, said TDOE Commissioner Lizzette Reynolds in a letter to each school. “We applaud your school’s hard work and student accomplishments.”
The principals at all six PCSS Reward Schools are happy and proud to earn the distinction.
“Being a reward School reflects the dedication of our students, faculty/staff, and the Algood community to foster an environment where every individual can grow and achieve academically and personally,” said AMS Principal Rusty Darley. “We celebrate this recognition with immense pride, and it is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence in education.”
“We were so excited to learn of our Reward School designation! Being named a Reward School is truly an honor for our entire Burks family, who have been committed to ensuring student success,” said Burks Principal Heather Tinch. “I would love to give a huge shout-out to our dedicated teachers and staff, hardworking students, and a very supportive Monterey community.”
“Being recognized as a Reward School is a huge honor that reflects the continuous dedication and hard work invested by our faculty, staff, and families,” said Capshaw Principal Renee Cantrell. “The achievement validates the commitment to building strong teacher-student relationships and setting high expectations for all. I am extremely proud of our Capshaw community!”
“Our students, faculty, and staff worked hard to earn this designation, and I feel blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone family,” said Cornerstone Principal Tammy Hoover. “Our faculty believes it starts with the "Efficacy" piece: Believing that our kids can achieve and meet high expectations, then sustaining them daily.”
“We are beyond thrilled to receive this award for our school,” said PSMS Principal Tera Brooks. “This is the icing on the cake to celebrate our faculty and staff's work to ensure all our students are academically achieving and growing to become productive citizens. We also want to thank our students for their efforts, as they have worked hard to achieve their goals.”
“We are extremely honored to earn the status of Reward School at Sycamore Elementary. It’s a true testament to our efforts to strive for excellence,” said SES Principal Tracy Nabors. “The continued focus on teaching and learning by our faculty, staff, and students contributes to this success. Mrs. Robbins and I are honored to work alongside this wonderful community. I personally wish my former principal, Mr. Jerry Maynard, were here to celebrate with us. He would be so proud!”
A complete list of the state’s Reward Schools can be found at 2023-federal-accountability.
