Memphis portal not an entrance to greatness

I have visited several school websites (identifiable by k12.state.us in the URL) and the quality typically varies from okay to excellent. This site makes my "worst" list because many of the links lead to inappropriate content.

For example, Billy Bear's Online Games has distracting banner ads and the games, though made for kids, have minimal educational content. Interactive English is educational but isn't suitable for K-12 students. The Disney link takes the visitor to the Disney Channel site, the focus of which is not on curriculum-specific topics.

There are, however, some worthwhile links for the visitor who wishes to sort through the choices.
