6th-grade girl sent home with a ''fat letter''.

'' Florida state laws mandating health screenings at school are sparking controversy after an athletic sixth-grader was sent home with a letter saying she had an “at-risk” body mass index and therefore was overweight. '' 

Do you really believe that you should send a letter like that home with your child? It is a serious problem because the overweight problem in America is getting bigger and bigger. What can you do about this? Keep your children away from anything unhealthy? Make sure your children are always doing something to be active? It shouldn't be like this. Let kids be kids and deal with overweight if it becomes really too much. A few pounds over the normal weight is not dangerous.
