  • "Timmy seems to have vastly increased activity 5 minutes before he sleeps. Probably doing push ups."

  • Completely with Ana. A kid's health isn't the purpose of a school in the first place, PE classes are fucking stupid.

  • So a parent needs a school to tell them when to have their kids go to bed or get off the fucking couch and stop eating the damn potato chips? I think that means they have no business being parents.

  • Im 12 and in 7th grade the school sent home obesity sheets to my house im 120 and besicly thats healthy i see kids goin around they hav to wait for kids to move soo they can walk i got obesity sheets i cursed my dean out and the principle for doin it i got suspended but thats bull shit

  • no fucking way ma'am heads would roll if my kid was enrolled and that happened.

  • @ThatRandomIrishLad Im not american im irish and i was only messin

  • @SOSspecialdlover American logic. Heart moniter = pedophilia. What was the American obesity rate again?

  • @ThatRandomIrishLad so you agree with pedobearisim

  • I fail to see the problem with this. It's a fucking wrist band! If you honestly consider this invasion of privacy, you're paranoid. If a school rang me and said hey you're child's not sleeping well enough I'd be thankful. The schools showing an interest in the health of the kids. God forbid kids aren't fatties.

  • Ana dropped the f-bomb! *giggle*

  • Ana would make a great mom (hint hint)

  • It's none of their business.
