okay, so, this story, blah blah blah, kids are overweight and unhealthy, not really news.
two things, though:
*sound of buzzer* maybe the reporter is just not so good at communicating the tone, but speaking as someone who used to be that kid? no, the gym teacher shouldn't tease a student who's worn out from running. "i don't understand how you can be tired" means "something must be wrong with you." way to go, cindy.
*boggle* from 18 to 4 in one year?! i hope that's a typo and she's gone from 18 to 14, because am i crazy, or is that just like among the least healthy things i've ever heard?

During a Wednesday after-school session at Matsunaga, [physical education teacher Cindy] Lins [who is preparing 200 kids for some event in Rockville] cheered every student who rounded the edge of the schoolyard to complete a lap.

At Forestville Elementary School in Great Falls, third-grade teacher Anne Collins developed her own wellness policy last year after she got engaged and decided to lose weight.
She began walking each day at recess and invited students to join her. After stepping up her workout routine outside school as well, she has gone from a size 18 to a size 4.
