My mom just informed me of how they now include the state required health screening with report cards. The health screening takes in account the students height and weight and calculates their Body Mass Index (BMI) and BMI percentile. It then has a little section that tells what the results mean. It in my opinion tells parents politely whether their child is underweight, at risk for overweight, or overweight.

Just wondering what everyone else's opinion is on these new screenings.
