[LM_NET] ELEM: TAR Help! Human body challenge

[Robin Shtulman <shtulman@ERVING.COM>]

Hi!

I know that something is coming my way.  If anyone has dealt with a  
challenge of this sort, please give me some advice.

A 5th grade boy has apparently been showing

The Visual dictionary of the human body.

around on the school bus.  It's a 1991 Eyewitness publication, so you  
know it's just starighforward, educational, but full of illustrations.
There have been some complaints.  Of course, kids are interested.  Of  
course, it's natural.  Still, there is the point of view that  
children who are not ready to know about these things maybe should be  
protected, etc.
Hopefully, the problem will focus on the behavior, and not the book.   
We do have a formal challenge policy.

Words of advice?

Thanks,
Robin
