Let's say if they bash think as much as they bash fat and encourage normal, it's less problematic about eating disorders. But I doubt!

They should have just had lectures for the parents (with the kids)! These girls are too young to be able to change their diets on their own. It's very nice if they realizes there's a problem, but if the parents keep on buying junk, soda's and other unhealthy food, nothing is going to change.

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about.

sorry it does not compare to weight issues ... who on earth wants to catch lice they multiply quickly and transfer bodies - while weight stays on the person looked at ...
again bring in the nutritionist - discuss issues ... perhaps even have her available for the kids to come to ... but forced weigh-ins would be a horror to anyone ...

The trouble with lice is, nobody is breeding them on their own. If they have it, they caught it from someone! To ostracize a kid because she has a nit on her head is awful.
On the other hand, in most cases and according to most opinions, obesity (or underweight) can be linked to something. Most often, a direct cause to the person’s eating habits and metabolism. Which one makes more sense to deal with the person directly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's outrageous. Yet another example of how schools are taking over the role of parents. And you weren't asked whether you permitted this?!
I protest for different reasons that many posted here. Not about embarrassment, not about possible repercussions, but because THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE IN THIS WAY. If a teacher has a concern about a particular girl, let her call the parent. I'll repeat WEIGHING THEM IN SCHOOL IS OUTRAGEOUS.

they only breed if you let them ... if you are on top of a situation and clean it - they will not have that chance ... nit picking ain't fun ... but if you are diligent can rid of them rather quick ...
the whole world functions on eating ... everything we do is eating ... eat eat eat ... hard not to want food

I'm with Manhattanmom. I think it's really bad news and should not be done. As a matter of fact I think I remember them doing it to me in the 7th grade. I don't remember what I weighed but I DO remember finding out EXACTLY how much the fattest girl in the class weighed - 75 kilos. So, isn't it interesting that I remember this till today?
I agree with those who are for the lecture but VERY against the weighing.

165 is bad. but I remember going on a scale with my cousin who was rail thin. and she told me I was so fat at 100 pounds at 12 yrs. looking back I shouldnt have believed her. I was so good looking then. so kids comment can really hurt others.

I remember in 8th grade some of my classmates took it on themselves to walk around telling all the skinny girls that they were fat and all the fat girls that they were skinny. I was called skinny and how it hurt!
