Macungie Elementary School nurse Elaine Civic works in the school's clinic, Feb. 28, 2002, in Macungie, Pa. When a student's weight is out of the norm, according to new body mass indexing charts, she sends a note home.

I don't see what the big deal is. Parents are always bitching that schools aren't paying enough attention to junior's "special needs".

So who sends the note home with the nurse? :rolleyes:

*ahem* cough cough.. It is a well known fact in the medical communities that school nurses are ones that can't function in hospital settings. Most of them can't even find a good case of headlice till the kid has about 300 live bugs crawling on their heads..school nurses are dip****s.

Dear Parents,

Your kid is a fat ass. Please watch the amount of cookies and ice cream he scarfs down every night after he finishes his bucket of bacon and gallon of chocolate milk. Please be aware that he is 10 degrees short of a jello mold.

Sincerely,

Your Concerned and Svelte School Board.

[Memo]

I don't see a problem with it. Although I think it should be the parent's responsibility to make sure their kids not too tubby. But letting the parent know is not a bad thing.
