Text Analysis #1
In America, there are "fat letters" being sent to the parents of overweight or obese students after the school screens the students height and weight. The American Academy of Pediatrics thinks these letters will help the parents and students understand that they are overweight and maybe do something about it but I think it causes more problems than benefits. Inaccurate measurements may occur and a letter might be sent to someone who doesn't need one thus leading to arguments within the family and with the school. Some may look at the letters as an invasion of personal matters and take offense to it and say that it is none of their business. On the other hand, it might draw attention to the problem and have a successful outcome. It's all a matter of perspective.
