   Absolutely not!!!! A childs weight isn't a childs fault. WEight, if an issue, should be brought up to the parents by a meeting with the teacher if a teacher is concerned. Teachers should have the right to do this.

   Rubbish... my grandchild has just been told now she is in Grade 3 she is not allowed on the play equipment except before and after school. Now she spends all day sitting.. either in class or in grounds because they are not allowed to run and play???? When so many are doing Gym as adults why are we ignoring our 8 - 18yr olds. The old saying Idle hands are devils playthings sounds about right. Kids with nothing to do get into more strife. Bring in more exercise/play equipment and also sports for fun not competiton.. Keep active. Keep fit campaign like in the 80s. Get off the couch.... Buy equipment not insurance.....

   No way, when I was in year 6, a little bit chubby and self conscious, our teacher made us do a graph and everyone had to be weighed in front of the class and the weights displayed on the graph on the board for all to see. I was so scared to do this I pretended to be sick and stayed home the next day so I didn't have to weigh in. As it turned out when I went back the teacher made me do it anyway and I heard other kids talking about my weight in the playground. It was humiliating.

   You have got to be kidding me. At maccas I can get a 'meal' for under $5. If I go to get a sandwich it will cost me up to, if not over $6. What am I going to choose if I am on a budget???
