Nine year old kids are getting sent home from school with notes saying they are fat, even if they are just one pound over what the BMI charts say they "should" be. Weight is easy to measure and there is obviously an obesity problem, so the natural response is to give kids eating disorders by shaming them over their weight at incredibly young ages.

I have no confidence in our prison-style education system to be able to use this information in a positive way. Common sense flew out the door two decades ago, and it isn't coming back any time soon, and providing "obvious" correlation data like this is just one more tool to use to whip kids with, to ensure they know who the masters are.
