@cjd man, I agree on the premise, I don't like school and it is total control, but kids went to school in the 60s and 70s and weren't all fat. I wouldn't blame obesity on school. But yes, school is not a good place for children to learn.

The point is that school has total control over kids for the MAJORITY of their waking life, if they come out in any way weak / harmed, that's entirely on the school.
In the context of total authoritarian control over the course of 10 years, you CAN make someone into an athlete, and it's not even complicated.

Government schools have complete and total control over the bodies of children.
Children are forced to sit in an awkward and unnatural position for 6 hours of the day, and reprimanded for so much as fidgeting without permission.
This is entirely unnatural for a young body and it constitutes TOTAL CONTROL.
How can such a regimented authoritarian system of control yield young adults who are obese.
If the state school controls kids down to their last movement and yet when they come out 12 years later, their bodies are damaged - THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE.
If this is what school does to their bodies, imagine what it can do to their minds!
