I could see getting detention or a supension or something to punish my behavioral record, but they aren't gonna throw away a great presentation if I let it slip that "There's a shit load of coal in Africa"
My thinking is that you got the A not just for the content, but for the manner of presentation, since it was an oral presentation. Similarly, in a written paper, your grade depends not just on what you say, but how you say - grammar, spelling, etc.
