From an elementary parent:  “I don’t know where I could have gotten all that information in one evening.  I don’t know a lot about the internet myself but as a family we can now be aware as our children grow older of the need to follow some of Mark’s wise practices in using the internet.  I have already had opportunity to share the resources and website with others.”
