What Are the Schools Thinking?

Dominic came home the other day with his physical fitness tracking in school. Chinups...Check
shuttle run...Check
100 dash...Check
sit ups...Check
push ups...Check
body mass index...Very poor

wha??? Apparently Dominic has very poor BMI which in turn says he is fat. Yeah have you guys seen this kid lately, he is far from fat. Now I know this country is going through a childhood Obesity crisis as of late but Dominic is so not fat. He is strong, healthily pain in the ass 8 year old boy. Now I know what the charts say but doesn't the phyed teacher look at that and say "well that's not right". Let alone testing 8 years olds, the complex issues that they go through as teenages is hard enough but think of the consequences of this testing.....Wonder what the rates of bulimia or anorexia among teens is..Up or down?" KNOBS!!!
