| Georgiestar - I should have put that I had lost weight because I had been ill!!!
When I was at university I had a maths lecturer who told us that when teaching graphs and charts etc NEVER to use weight of the kids as data to collect. His daughter was anorexic and she put it down to being in year 6 and was the tallest (and was the heaviest) and her teacher made them all weight themselves and used the data in the whole class teaching. That combined with being nervous going to high school started her eating less (which then spiralled).
People need to think about what they say and do. (Oh the irony of me teaching about being healthy to year 5 weighing 14stone 10lbs...actually we were a 'healthy eating school' but the head was over 20 stone) |
