My friends DD is 16 in January and in year 11 at school. She is larger than most of her year group at a size 16/18 and by far larger than her classmates in her Science lesson.
She came home upset because the teacher had them weighing themselves in class on weighing scales for some kind of Physics lesson, and then every pupil had to write their weight on the board for everyone to see. The teacher said for anyone who didn't want to write their true weight, write it at 200lbs so friends DD did this, fearing it might be more (she weighs 208lbs really) and the whole class apart from one girl was laughing at her. She is a really quiet girl and this is a particularly rowdy class where the teacher fails to take control and FDD says the laughing and making fun of her went on for the rest of the lesson (40 mins). AIBU to think that the teacher did a damn stupid lesson plan to begin with?

To think her Science teacher was being quite insensitive?
