It’s my parents’ fault I’m fat
posted in FatBlogging, General, Humor, Obesity Epidemic |I told them and told them and told them. But would they listen? No. And so I put all the blame for me reaching 300 pounds squarely on their shoulders. It’s not my fault.
Thanks, Mom and Dad. Thanks a lot.
But it may not be too late to save the next generation. Some parents in Australia are finally starting to see the light.
Homework contributing to childhood obesity, parents say
The Tasmanian Parents and Friends Association believes homework could be contributing to childhood obesity.
The national president of the association wants homework banned in Tasmanian primary and high schools.
Parents and Friends chief Jenny Branch says as childhood obesity becomes a major problem, homework is forcing children to sit in front of computers instead of exercise.
She has questioned the need for after school study.
“When I started to research it, I couldn’t find any good evidence to say that homework at home improves the student learning,” she said.
See, Mom–I told ya!
Of course, as always, some meddling bureaucrat is doing all they can to stand in the way of enlightenment and progress.
The state secretary of the Education Union, Jean Walker, says it is a policy issue for individual schools, but she does not think a ban is the cure for obesity.
“Children seemed to be able to do both homework and not be obese, until this generation,” she said.
Darn egghead liberals. They don’t care about the kids, just about keeping their jobs.
