Ohio schools may require body-mass-index screenings
Associated Press Updated 10:22 AM Thursday, June 3, 2010 COLUMBUS — A bill to attack childhood obesity by requiring healthier options in school cafeterias has advanced in the Ohio Legislature. By a 77-21 vote, the Ohio House on Wednesday approved legislation which also would have schools do body-mass-index screenings on students. But, as the Ohio Senate did earlier, the House dropped a mandate that schools provide students at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. Groups representing teachers and school boards had complained that districts could not afford to implement that proposal. The House bill allows districts that want to provide the exercise time to opt into a pilot program. The legislation now returns to the state Senate for a final vote. |

I'm with you Kaneman.
We do alot of work in schools in this area so I'm around various ages and districts and it drives me insane with all the crap they expect kids to do. 30 minutes of exercise a day wow. I remember our recess being like 45 - 50 minutes, then you had a gym class somewhere in the day too. Lack of excercise or movement for that matter tends to make kids hyper, but if a kid is hyper lets call them ADHD, drug them up and make them a zombie. Its bad when the assisted living facility we do work for has more lively members than most elementary schools these days. |

Measuring BMI won't fix the obesity problem.

Does recess count as that 30 minutes? Our kids get aq 15 minute recess in the a.m and another 30 min at lunch break. I feel sorry for them because they don't get the 15 minute one in the pm that we used to get.
Very few overweight kids in my school too BTW. |

I remember we had to run a timed mile every year, do a certain amount of sit-ups and pull-ups, stretch, etc and if you did it you got the presidential physical fitness award.

I don't believe that the rest of out school had a requirement other than they had to have an hour of PE every day of the week for all 4 years of HS. After 10 grade though you could opt for weightlifting instead of regular PE though. |
