I hate public schools.
I think the problem started when school cafeterias went "a-la-carte" and allowed kids to start shoving pizzas and burgers down their faces instead of getting a FoxNews lunch. You know, fair and balanced.
Nor was I, which I believe I stated TWICE!If you could read, you'd notice that I was not advocating the BMI requirement on the report card.
I still don't see what the big deal is. Like SW said, it can be done during P.E. Our schools do assessment tests during P.E. as well.
Definitely. However, my kids think school food is gross so they don't eat it. My 6th grader doesn't have time to eat lunch if he waits in line for his food.I think the problem started when school cafeterias went "a-la-carte" and allowed kids to start shoving pizzas and burgers down their faces instead of getting a FoxNews lunch.

IMHO, BMI is TMI.
Put it this way....I could give a rat's ass if my son has his BMI index tested at school. My son just informed me that the Bloods and the Crips are supposed to have a shoot out at his school tomorrow. Yes, a threat was phoned in confirmed by the principal to a friend of mine. The whole school is buzzing with this news. He seems to think it's, and I quote, "A load of crap.", but still...
It's fun to be a parent.
i didn't know your kids went to school in the hood s y.
is your boy a blood or crip?
j/k of course. i know as a parent, you have to take all this seriously, but i would highly doubt a gang gun fight in suburbia, much less an announced one. Good luck, Godbless.
Do your kids have "Red" drills?
There's another fun one....
Oh, I know Zak, but then in the back of your mind you think of Columbine. I did ask him if was worried about going to school tomorrow and he said no.But he did say you're not supposed to wear red or blue! While I think the school is taking this seriously, I'd think they'd have to notify the parents, right?
??? What is that? I know they have in elementary a certain code in cas of an emergency.Do your kids have "Red" drills?
There's another fun one....
Can you wear red and blue together at the same time? Damnit, then the Kings would just shoot you right?
But wouldn't that make you the Purples?Can you wear red and blue together at the same time? Damnit, then the Kings would just shoot you right?
The Barnies is an elementary school gang.
Nah... purple is Grape Street Watts (a Crip set). It cracks me up seeing all of these kids who've never even seen the Shaw representing streets in South Central, Watts, Compton, and Long Beach all over the country.
Actually BMI is not that useful of a measurement. Someone that lifts weights frequently will have a BMI number that could appear to indicate obesity when in reality it only reflects greater muscle mass.

What Does This All Mean?
I thought of that too, but they are talking about children for the most part....who don't really start doing any kind of weight training until 12 or so.
I think they may be talking about younger children....
this is easy to do and costs virtually nothing if done during the kids PE class. what harm does it truly do?
it may not have to go on the report card, but like some have said a letter home would be great.
also, you don't have to be a doctor to figure out BMI.
