The furor began about two weeks ago when gym teacher Mary Jo Hodgkin measured students' body mass index, or body fat compared to height and weight, using new laser equipment that the school system had purchased through a grant.
For 4~6th graders???
Crimeny sakes. Just have the whole class do jumping jacks or play dodgeball. Something like that.
Where'd anybody ever get the idea that gym teachers know how to operate equipment like that anyway? Sheeeeeeesh.
