<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">(one teacher here loaded a "free
time" folder with some flash games that were more harmless than the first

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I tinkered with this recently – not

going to do it for them .. </span></font></p>
