Apologies if this has already been posted.
Is this mother a prejudiced person or is she right and has fat acceptance gone too far?

I couldn't give a tinker's cuss how fat my kid's teachers are, just so long as they can teach. But that aside, I do agree with cassa - heaven forbid if you refer to somebody as fat nowadays, you will be accused of the flavour of the month phrase of 'body shaming', which is nonsense phrase that I find particularly annoying. I wonder how long it will be before fat...

i see no difference as long as the quality of teaching is excellent.
as i child going through the schools yrs i had many err different sized teachers not that i noticed then, although i i had a few skinny old maid, nasty tug your ear teachers and had some very nice bigger should we say teachers, the mother is being ridiculous.

I wonder how long it will be before fat people are protected by an amendment to the Equality Act!
Until fat people stop portraying themselves as victims and take some responsibility for themselves, as far as I'm concerned they have nobody to blame but themselves (yes, yawn, some people are fat due to a medical condition - but these unfortunate people are very much in the minority).
Some fat people may say they are happy with their size, but this is a front and they are not. Nobody would rather be fat than slim - they may say they are, but they probably cry themselves to sleep every night.

dd bang on and don't beat yourself up, I am pretty fat myself and I know exactly why. There is no medical condition that can get around the laws of physics, I'm sick of all this chaval cack about glands etc, complete and utter bowlocks. It's a simple equation. I just wanted to say that as a less than svelte person I for one am 100% aware of why, I have no excuses. Fatties everywhere get honest with yourself at least.
I volunteer as a reading tutor at my local Academy (helpful for them as I can bring expertise, so I get the difficult children) and 2 or 3 of the staff are what I would call 'obese'. So far as I can observe. they are good and efficient teachers. I really cannot understand this 'body-ism'. It's the teacher that counts. Some are black, some white, some Asian, some fat, some thin, some old, some young - what the heck!
Well that's how I feel - she's a nitwit and troublemaker.

as far as teaching is concerned does it matter ? as long as the child is leaning..however it is not really a great example to set a child of healthy living..and I do agree about the PC brigade..one gets sick and tired of walking on egg shells lest someone takes offence... a spade is a spade.. a fat person is fat.. why should the world tiptoe by because some have a huge bitter chip (or far too many chips of the deep fried variety ) on their shoulders.. just sayin'...
fine. Lets call fat people fat, ugly people ugly, stupid people stupid, and so on. oh and ugly and stupid people everywhere get honest with yourselves! Some ugly people say they are happy with the way they look but this is a front and they are not. Nobody would rather be ugly that beautiful and they probably cry themselves to sleep every night.
Its a long time since I have read such unpleasant prejudiced views expressed with so much relish on AB and the people concerned should feel ashamed of themselves.
