I don't disagree with children having health checks at school - nits, weight, etc. Only problem is that a parent can see if a child is overweight and if they're not doing anything about it already then a letter home won't make the slightest bit of difference.

My daughter's school has just started Fruity Friday, she now thinks that she doesn't need to take fruit in on any other day whereas I've been telling her for the last two years that she should.
