[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So schools are supposed to prevent children from being fat, as well as educate them in academic subjects? Isn't anything the parents' job nowadays? You'd like the schools to serve as fat camps as well? [/b]

No it is not the job of the schools. But I am lucky I have a choice - I send my kids to a school that does not expect kids to sit for 6 hours. They have outdoor education everyday, 4 or more recesses, and gym everyday. A sport is a requirement and is done during the school day. When my oldest was having problems getting homework done I adjusted his schedule (which is not an option in the public school). I am also not poor so my kids can have homemade fresh meals for lunch - but I allow them to eat the crap at school 2 times a week.

I would like public schools to have more outside time, more recesses, better plans for discipling kids (like running laps instead of taking away recess), flexible schedules, allow kids to brush their teeth after lunch - you need a act of god to "allow" the kid to go to the bathroom when he does not need to "go to the bathroom".

I don't expect them to serve as a fat camp but I do expect them to practice what they preach.[/quote]

Your kids' school sounds awesome - where is it??[/quote]

I'd rather not say the name. It's in Potomac, MD - Most all boy privates are like this. My son was climbing the walls in 3rd grade and we had to make the switch.[/quote]
