Gotta disagree with ya here, bboyminn. This is NOT just "one man's 
opinion". You can count me in, too :-)

Since we're not supposed to post "me toos", I'll add a comment:

If the report was presented to the class, it amy have been appropriate 
for the teaching to recommend leaving out the spotted dick bit -- 
especially in the elementary or junior high grades, where hormones run 
amock. As a teacher, I know from personal experience just how ready 
neo-pubescent boys are to discover sexual and scatalogical innuendo in 
even the most innocent of things.

However, if the report was for the teacher's eyes only, then I agree she 
missed the whole point of her own assignment.
