It all depends upon what you want "progress" to be towards.

#2 In 1954, when I was in first grade, a fellow student brought a U.S. Army Korean War era (defused) handgrenade to school for "show and tell". I remember handling it as it was passed around...seriously cool stuff. No one, including the teacher thought anything of it. Afterwards, the class went back to reading "Dick and Jane".
