A former roommate of mine has a son who is enrolled in a sports school, like where half of the day they do academics and the rest is devoted to their sport (for him it's diving) Kids need to apply and only the best ones get in. Needless to say, none of them are fat.

Yes we have these in Hungary to, actually various kinds, various models, I started now looking it up with Google and I turned I cannot even explain how many kinds exist because apparently there is an institute doing research on it and trying out various models with various schools. But the best model seems to be where from the age of 6 they focus on giving a general fitness and coordination training and figure out what are the kids talented at and assist them and parents to choose their sport, then from 10 on focus more and more on that specific sport. But to be fair this has more to do with the government wanting the country to do well on the Olympics, not really about the general fitness of citizens. So it has an elite, perform or GFTO focus. While our government recently decided that there must be a gym class every day in every school not just sports schools, there are not enough facilities for this especially in cramped urban circumstances so often kids end up doing jumping jacks in the classroom itself which will not make them learn to like fitness. And the teenagers are fatter than their parents, I saw that at beaches and aquaparks.

When I was a kid I actually liked stuff like jumping jacks and running laps a lot more than most group sports (Kings Court was fucking awesome) or the girly shit like badminton or twirling streamers that we were forced to do once gym was sex segregated in middle school. But maybe that's because I always got picked last and even my own teammates would "accidently" whap me in the leg with the hockey stick. Of course I would hit them back in the head, and I'd get in trouble for it. Highschool banned me from trying out for the rugby team, lol.

Omg I totally forgot about those! I'd just need to find one where it's not for future olympians I guess. Aspiring future shitmom.

If I won the lottery, one of the things I'd do would be to start a private school to provide the best fucking education possible. Part of that would mean no fatties.

I would like rooms in my house to be accessibly only by performing a rope climb.

Start it in Minnesota please. We need more indoor gyms

[–] Totenglocke 0 points 1 points (+1|-0) ago 

Sorry, I own guns, so I'd never move to Minnesota and have actually turned down jobs there before.

All schools should be like this (healthy standards). We know the health risks of obesity yet schools tiptoe around the issue of overweight and obese children. It's entirely sad how we can just set kids up for failure by shoveling chicken nuggets, pizza, and ice cream in their faces because "kids are picky eaters"...maybe it's because that's all they've been exposed to. We should have a program similar to the drug education system in schools which teaches the causes and dangers of being a fat ass and pave the way for healthy habits. America is especially lagging in this area and it depresses me. The obesity epidemic is only going to get worse at this rate.

There's a BBC documentary on youtube that shows parents that aren't even fat themselves feeding their baby fish and chips and candy as he's "picky" because he cries whenever they push veggies at him. Then they went to a therapist and she talked about how they never had the patience to let him get familiar with the new foods so he cried obviously. Fucking duh.

I sent my ward to a Steiner school. They had "movement" every day (including dance and music) and had to do stuff like cleaning their own classroom. Parents, pupils and staff came to the school one Saturday a month for a get together which including a sensible food selection.

I can recommend - but check it out carefully yourself, some of them can be a bit weird :)

I'd enroll my shitbabies. Plus, I'd believe healthy habits are generally instilled at a young age. I'd only want them to be around children whose parents also take good care of their children.

In fact, if my children hung around fat people all the time and bringing them into my home to hang out? I wouldn't be mean to my children's friends, but you can expect shitlording.

[–] ScottRockview 0 points 1 points (+1|-0) ago 

My mom always had carrot and celery sticks for us when I brought friends home. Now my kids get the same when they bring their friends over. Thankfully, none of them are fat.

Some of the public schools have dress codes. The people who made the dress code rules think that a girl showing her shoulders or wearing leggings is to distracting for boys. The overall major reason, I kid you not, is because they don't want fat girls to see thin girls that look nice in these clothes. They don't want the fat girls to be fat shamed and feel bad about not looking as good in those clothes as a thin girl does!!!! This is no joke!!! It is ridiculous!!!!!'

Speaking as a teacher, don't send your future kids to public school then. I pretty much advise all humans to send their kids to private, because people there actually give a shit and aren't fat fucks that want an easy job to collect a pay check.

When I worked in public, all that mattered was getting the bottom-feeders on-target so they could take a test really well. This cut into gym and recess time. Mongoloid fatshit parents are too busy pounding sugar and salt into their kids while they sit in front of Netflix instead of going for a walk or reading to them, so literally the only time they're not wasting away is at school - which they're not given the time to move around, anyway.

When I worked (briefly) in a private, there were no state standards to worry about. Education was wholesome and there was plenty of time for moving around and learning healthy habits.

If any of you read this, please don't put your kids in public school. I say this every single thread it comes up, but you guys really have no idea how horrible it is for the little guys. We need our future shitlords the way things are going.

I went to private school till 10th grade before I had to switch to public. Fuck I couldn't imagine how bad the primary schools were looking at what became of some of my classmates. And my school was a german Gymnasium which lets you go to university, other school types you finish at 16 and then go to work. (Baker, plumber etc...) My teachers still gave a shit about the hard working ones.

If I can't afford a private one I'll homeschool them myself after school. (Homeschooling is pretty much illegal unless the kid is sick or something.)

Easy, just don't send them to public school where idiots like the Wooky michelle obinladen think they are magically nutritionists doing more harm then good.
