Weighing the Teachers

Lawmaker Wants Teachers In Hawaii Weighed For Obesity:

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 seems to me that efforts should be focused on whether they are teaching well and have appropriate academic skills rather than eating well.
