The View From Kalamazoo
There's a right way. There's a wrong way. And then there's MY way.

Bri pointed me towards this happy factoid:
“Passed in April by the Arkansas General Assembly, Act 1220 of 2003 has only recently become an issue as parents get their children prepared for the first day of school Monday.
The law demands that school personnel figure each studentÂ’s body mass index — calculated using a formula that uses height and weight and compares it to other children — for inclusion on the studentÂ’s report card each year. Schools are also required to provide pamphlets and other materials that explain the health effects of the body mass index.”
Just what we need – another example of educators PLAYING DOCTOR rather than EDUCATING. Hey, fat kids aren’t picked on enough in school! Why let their peers have all the fun?!?
