Your weight is a personal issue

Part of today's physical education curriculum is the physical testing, in which a student's weight is taken to determine their VO2 Max and BMI ( Body Max Index). Often times, pupils are weighed publicly and their information exposed, causing embarrassment for the student, an a motive for peers to bully. But there is a simple solution to this dilemma. I propose we simply take the students weight in a private facility, so all numbers are confidential. By taking a minute to consider how one would feel if their weight was unessecarily and involuntarily revealed, we will start to realize how many of these kids feel. Sometimes weight is not a matter of work ethic, but a matter of genetics, and it isn't right to jeopardize ones self esteem, when there is an easy solution. By taking weight privately, nobody has to know except the student, how much they weigh.
