"A" in Math, "F" in Weight

I was doing my every-other-day check up on news and I found an article about lawmakers in Texas trying to get a law passed which would require students' Body Mass Indexes (BMIs) to be recorder on their report cards. Kind of like a pass/fail system for obesity. Supporters say that since a third of the children in Texas are overweight or obese, this bill is important because it will alert parents and teachers to problems. Opposers say that the child's physical status has no place on the report card because parents usually know if their child is overweight and placing the indications on a report care can be detrimental. Arkansas has a similar alert system, but results and information are sent to the parents separately from the report card.

I personally think that the childhood obesity problem has grown so much that parents should be alerted (they may be in denial) and also given ways to improve the child's health. I do not believe that this information should be put on a report card because students often look at each other's report cards. Imagine the embarrassment a kid getting a "D" in obesity would feel. Eating disorder much? I think so.
