Sites & Special Places on the Internet

The "Internets"...what great promise the web holds for education, news, entertainment, provided we are careful how we use it.

Also, a haven for sick individuals. Thankfully, Daddy Peter has put several of these in prison. ...and we work to strengthen laws to make it easier to get these people.

At McMeekan central, our children:

• will not have Internet access without us right next to them
• will not have Internet access in their bedrooms EVER

Furthermore, we will:

• have plenty of logging software on our machines
• alwasy follow through on sending complaints about inappropriate sites and content and get them shut down/held accountable
• push our school district to develop a comprehensive Internet/electronic policy

Here's some things I think are worth of a visit;
