I'm all for this kind of school rule but the problem is that BMI doesn't distinguish between body fat and muscle. Their body fat should be measured instead. Therefore, in a sense, BMI alone shouldn't be used at all because of potentially false data. A person can't tell someone they're overweight or obese just by looking at a BMI number alone. BMI really doesn't make sense and it shouldn;'t be used at all. However, I think there should be healthy body fat and fitness rules to graduate in school.
