In my kids school, there are just a few kids per class that AREN'T pudgy, if not downright obese....

All four of my kids are rail thin. My two 8 year olds are almost 35 lbs each and over 45 inches tall. They are in second grade and do 3rd and 4th grade math. The female PE teacher (at least 230 pounds and maybe 5' 8") says the boys aren't strong enough because they don't do push ups and they won't do well academically. Oh,,,, she's a boomer too.
