L’escola va acabar expulsant Jones per la seva militància en causes socials, especialment pacifistes– i mai més va poder exercir en un col·legi públic, tot i els centenars de firmes dels alumnes en contra de la decisió. "Having Mark Hancock come and speak to the students at my school made both the literature that we read and the history that we studied come to life. My students enjoyed his presentation so much that we invited him back the next year and plan to have him come in future years as well. Mark�s visit helps students understand and put a human face on abstract concepts like totalitarianism, conformity, and leadership. His presentation would work well for English, history, and psychology courses. What I especially liked is how Mark listened and responded to my students� questions and how flexible he was in working with me and my colleague. Many times guest speakers do not know how to reach students. This is not the case with Mark. His responses were clear and engaging. Mark�s presentation coupled with the documentary, "Lesson Plan," provide a unique opportunity for students to learn about history and human nature."   Tina Proctor, The Overlake School, Redmond, Washington  (visits Oct. 2012, & Oct. 2013) "Mark came to speak to my students after they had viewed and discussed �Lesson Plan." Mark is an engaging and natural speaker students can relate to, and the film itself is very moving, raising questions that provoke real thought and learning. That it is a true story gives it more weight, and to have Mark there to fill in the details and share the emotional impact the experience had on him and his classmates really brought the film's themes home to the kids. The personal insight and interaction helped them realize this is something that really happened, and could really happen again. The experience was an invaluable one my students will not forget, and I am already looking forward to having Mark back again this year."   Tamara Bunnell, The Northwest School, Seattle, Washington  (visits June 2013, and June 2014)
