Oh for Pete's sake.

No it's not "absolutely horrific." Maybe a little out of line, but frankly it wouldn't bother me at all. I'm sure there are much bigger problems at Deal to gripe about.[/quote]

People who say this is no big deal obviously never had weight problems.  I was overweight in middle school and already had self esteem issues.  Changing for gym class was the worst part of my day.  Being weighed in front of other students would have been horrific.  I was teased enough without everyone knowing my weight.  And this was at a Montgomery County school people on the Md school board love.  [/quote]

Still not something for which a teacher should be fired.  [/quote]

No never, this is totally weird but must be a DCPS thing not exclusive to Deal. 
+1 This exactly.  Didn't you all have this when you were in school?  I recall the yearly weight check with the nurse. Kids weighted in line,  you got on the scale, and the nurse wrote down the number quietly.  Maybe you could see the weight of the kid in front of you in line.  It's not like the school nurse announced. "Larla Jones, 78 pounds" at the top of her lungs.  [/quote][/quote]
