The letters are coming home from schools that weigh students as classes begin and then calculate their body mass index.
If the index is above the recommended level, a note goes home to the parents warning them that their children are considered at risk for obesity issues.
Hope Green has two children in school, she told ABC News “the last thing they need is the school to now step in. You’re too skinny, you’re too fat,” she said.
Currently 20 states from Arkansas to California to Illinois take part in the program by sending sealed letters home to parents.
