have you heard of fat report cards ?

yes, fat report cards, never mind teaching children, let's concern ourselves with bmi's or should i say how fat your kid is, this is k through 12th. do other states do this or is it just arkansas? we are the most screwed up state, in my opinion. link> www.swtimes.com...
this is a old date on this link, but i guess it doesn't really change anything.

hmmmm. No, I've never heard of that before. That's odd.

The education system has abdicated education and is now socializing young people for the up coming new world order.

This was all setup in late 50s and during the 60s when the masonic controlled psychologists ravaged the then successful education system in California.

Reap what you sow.

psychologists suck, most of the ones i know have some issues.

That is very surprising to me. I never thought we would come to a time when Americans have gotten so fat, we have to give them report cards like that. I feel sorry for the little kids though.

That's not something that goes on in Iowa to the best of my knowledge. For some reason, I have an awfully hard time finding it surprising, although I think it's wrong.

Body Mass is used mainly for bodybuilders and people who want to know muscle ratio. I don't understand why they would be doing this instead of Body Fat percentages. Not that either should be done, because frankly if I have a worry about my childs health I am fully capable of seeing the problem, analyzing it and going about doing the appropriate thing to get the problem fixed. This is over-use of governmental powers and if I lived in Arkansas I would be filing a lawsuit to tell School officials to keep their grubby doctors hands off my child.

All this crap will do is increase the number of kids suffering with anorexia & bulimia. They have enough peer pressure with all the 'fashion' magazine spouting bollocks without this #e as well.

And we all know that there is no such thing as an education department any more - indoctrination yes, education, definitely not.

Yeah there are tons of fat kids, I see them all over, really I think it's sad.

I mean there is healthy... and there is obeste... it's bad for their health, being severly overweight will increase their chance for diabetes and other medical complications...


How do I know this? I have a cousin that is 11 and probably has a good 100 lbs on me.

I have a nine year old cousin who probably has 60 or 65 on me. I think it's sad that there are a lot of fat kids around. I also know a kid who when he was 10 was all ready over 200 pounds. Sad stuff, someone needs to step in and get these kids off their asses and doing something besides eating and TV.

Yep, thats exactly what she does but her mother tries to blame it on thyroid or something, I am like well the diet of Chocolate, French Fries, Cookies, No Meat or Vegetables could be resposible and the fact she never goes outside to play with children, and is home school so doesn't really ever have to go do physical activites...


lol thanks, yeah I along with like 20 other people am in love with my avatar.

Actually this works both ways, either your child can be too fat or too skinny. My belief is this is just a way for dhs to get into your home to see why your child is too fat or too skinny and why nothing is being done about your child's weight.

Actually, this isn't exactly what you think it is.

They did this thing when I was in middle school (California) as well. It was totally optional and confidential. They just tok you height and weight, as well as filling out this survey, and your done. I didn't take it myself (because I forgot to turn in the application ), but it's just this thing they do once a year, not a quarterly thing.

I'm 14 and my (I think) 12 year old cousin probably has a good few pounds on me. Not sure how many, but probably like 10 or 20.

I'm tall and skinny, 'bout 125-130. I don't know how much she weighs, but one can tell from just looking that she is much heavier than me. She's way shorter than me too.

Yah, I'm 14 as well and I'm also tall and slim. I'm 5'7" and weigh around 105lbs-110lbs. I am very healthy as I am a long-distance runner and athlete, so no eating disorders. Almost all of my friends are quite a bit larger than me. A few decades ago I'm sure that my weight would have been closer to the average of my age group than it is now. Now I'd say the average is closer to 140 for people that are much shorter than me.
