They do that here too. It p#sses me off, a beautiful day in the middle of winter and the fat cow of a PE teacher has them stacking cups.
On rainy days, they read, because someone might slip. Supposedly the gym roof doesnt leak, so Im at a loss on that one.<br /><br />Oh yeah, this is Elementary School.WHAT!!?? FOR STARTERS - ITS STUPID! and as far as their privacy goes .. ahhhh.. don't ya think if they we concerned with privacy as how the kids look.. they'd hand out blind folds too?? you can look at a kid/person and notice if they are a little 'thick in the mid-section'..<br /><br />
LOL, BB!
<br /><br /><br />This is great, high schools around here already have cafeterias that look like a mall food court - Taco Bell, McD's & whatever. Well, what's one more mixed message? Maybe the English teachers can use it as an example of irony.<br /><br />Okay, so I haven't done anything about my kids getting fat and now this "BMI" on their report card is going to prompt me to jump into action?!<br /><br />Does it go on their permanent record? Will it become part of their transcript? What about college applications?
Originally posted by jtexas:<br />I hear ya jtexas.<br />Our High Schools are the same way. My oldest son inherited genes from my wife's side of the family. The men in her family have a tendency to be "heavy". I talked to him the other day. Not a lecture, a talk. I told him that it was something he was going to have to watch for. He has been taking weight training and attributed his weight gain to that. After our talk, a couple of days later, he says<br />"I don't think I will get McDonalds anymore, I'll eat Subway for lunch. They are better for you."<br />I was floored, he actually listened and made a very good decision. Made me feel good though.
