Sorry, I don't think it is the schools job to maintain their students healthy weight. The parents need to take the responsibility for it, but they never will because parents suck these days and let their kids do whatever. If they didn't feed their kids fast food and cholesterol milkshakes every day, and let them lounge about playing Playstation, we wouldn't have such problems. Eat healthy and exercise daily, that's the key. And if all else fails, get a band around your tummy.

I agree to a point, but PE brings out social skills as well. Of course, I am one who thinks school should be from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. - so there would be time enough for it!!!!!
