So, I lived in India as a foreigner over 12 years ago now and, back in both 4th and 5th grade, our class teachers would record our weights and heights(I don’t remember if this one a year or for every term) and would later be written in our report card for our parents

As fat kid, having to step on the scale in front of the whole class was humiliating and its not like they did anything with those numbers. They didn’t mention them to parents, didn’t make life style changes recommendations. The least they could have done was take those measurements in private and not in front of the whole class

Is this still a practice Today in India school? Was it popular during the 2010(I lived there from 2012-2014)? For people who had their measurements taken, especially other fat kids, how did it feel?

What about other parts of the world?

    Man, I’d forgotten about that. I do recall really enjoying that relative to other PE stuff.

    Parachute day in P.E. class is the best. Watching that parachute float up and down is mesmerizing. Running around a parachute is great exercise. And working together to keep all the balls on a parachute during a game of Popcorn encourages cooperation.
