The fitness gram is part of a state wide test students are required to take to see how physically fit they are. If your weight does not match up with your height (overweight or underweight) you are failed and must repeat the class again and retake the test the next year. I think that it is wrong to fail someone for something that is sometimes uncontrollable. If you sign this I am hoping to get it taken off the mandatory test. Thank you.

I think the fitness gram brings down people's self esteem and needs to be taken out of schools kids shouldn't feel like they need to loose weight if they are heavier than most and skinnier kids shouldn't have to gain weight to be the right size.
I'm sick of the BMI
