***The videos from this product are from Youtube, but have been run through Safeshare first. Safeshare takes out the commercials and side videos. Some schools block these sites, and I have no control or fix for that. Please be sure you have access to these sites before purchasing. If you are unsure, please check out this free sample to test it out first. Thanks!
