There are sometimes news items about teachers being told not to say 'blackboard' or sing 'ba ba black sheep' I think theyare urban myths. Has anyone been giveninstructions about these things. If so where etc?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have never been given these instructions and we sing baa baa black sheep in nursery quite often.
However we have been "officially" told to use proper anatomical words for parts of the body... and are supposed to use the proper word after they have used a common word.... its supposed to stop any embarassment and giggling when the proper words are used later in school for sex education purposes!
The next generation may well grow up calling each other penisheads!
