Yesterday, Jeff Dinelli posted a letter he wrote to his daughter's school, expressing concern about a Physical Education project in which the students were to "enter their height and age into a computerized program, which informed them of their 'ideal' weight and percentage of body fat." They were also instructed to count their daily caloric intake.
Well, he got a response back. Head on over to read the brilliant response from the PE teacher which opens with the hilariously inscrutable line: "As far in any other class I have State goals that I must show that I address."
Suffice it to say, he's not happy—and he'd like suggestions on what his next step should be.
