Good policy or Bad ?

I think its a good policy although it could end up I some kids geting bullied it depends how well it is managed by the schools

There was a time when I would have said that this kind of thing impedes on a child’s rights and a parents values.

However, in an age where parents find it easier to plop their kids in front of a video game instead of making sure they’re getting enough time doing physical activity, it’s a sad state we’re in that the schools have to take it upon themselves to remind parents that they aren’t doing their job, but it’s something that needs to be done.

uhm I dont see how this is any of the school’s business… If the parent has a fat kid, they know it… how is this supposed to help except make the kids targets at school and shame them?

I think it will embarrass the kids. Like ty said, it’s not the school’s business. I think if the child is over or underweight, the parents and their doctor should take care of it on their own.

Actually ty and moe214 have put it a lot better then I did, the school are there to teach not monitor the childs health, obviously the school should notify the parent if there is a huge, huge problem (something the parent may have not noticed unlike a child’s weight) but otherwise it’s the parents and doctors problem to watch the childs weight, not the schools.

well, its good and bad good:it helps kids that are having that problem and alerts the parents :) bad:its personal info. and could be embarassing. :(
