I guess if they want to put BMI on report cards, it's only fair that the teachers have to weigh in also.
A state lawmaker has suggested Hawaii's public schoolteachers be forced to weigh in as part of the fight against obesity in students, KITV in Honolulu reported.

State Rep. Rida Cabanilla introduced a resolution in the house requesting that the Board of Education establish an obesity database among public schoolteachers.

"You cannot keep a kid to a certain standard that you yourself is not willing to keep," Cabanilla said.

It's been documented that more than 20 percent of Hawaii's children are at risk, or are already overweight, according to the station. There are no statistics on teachers.

The resolution calls for all public schoolteachers to weigh in every six months.
Ok, so even if he does have a point, I think this makes a point for measuring fat kids is stupid, and not that it doesn't go far enough.

Because we all know, unless you're a stripper, the size of your ass have very little to do with how you do your job.
