BMI is BS and the creator of the scale even admitted that it’s not appropriate for general population statistics.
Fatty! Fatty! Fatty!
Oh, wait ...
She’s not.
Ya think they do this at Sidwell Friends?
I just calculated her BMI at the NIH BMI calculator website.
Her BMI is 17.9. That puts her in the underweight category.
I wonder if the note was meant to say that she’s underweight, and someone messed up?

“Aside from the idiocy of using a discredited measurement for body fat, what are these administrators thinking? “
Well, if the county patriots can get conservatives off their fat asses and storm the schoolboard with 1,000 protestors, they can tell the leftist schoolboard what they think.
If that can’t be done, well, BOHICA, fools.
The photo of the little girl and the on of her mother prove that writer of the not id full of BS.
BMI is a complete farce when it comes to any measure of fitness.
It’s completely dependent on just two numbers, height and weight.
Every single linebacker in the NFL is Class I or II obese according to BMI numbers.
Heck, if you’re a recreational weight lifter chances are your BMI tells you you’re obese.
Sent home? It could not wait until after classes?
Or maybe the headline needs a proofreader
Well, not unless the school is to become a FEMA camp.
What a beautiful little girl.. who needs a dad willing to SLAP someone SILLY-ier..
If I was her dad from the Deans/principles office you could hear me in the Gymnasium.. using very dirty words..
Since she lives in a trailer park, therefore she must be overweight
Leave these kids alone!
Let’s see the BMI data on the school officials, the teachers and Michelle Obama.
The SABCI (School Administrator Brain Cell Index) requires an average of only one functioning brain cell per administrator. So, if several administrators have two or even three working brain cells, some administrators within the measured group may have none.
But they will still be on the payroll and in the union.
I would respond with a letter from my lawyer reminding the school that BMI is part of the medical profession and in most states, giving medical advice without a license is a crime. However, since they now have instituted a MEDICAL RECORD, they can provide details on their HIPPA compliance.
All ur kids r belong 2 guvment
Why is this school weighing children? They have no business doing that.
I’ve read that height to waist ratio is a more legitimate measure.
