Currently in gym class we are learning bout Body Mass Index (BMI) and Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). In gym not health. I think we should be running around doing a sport, but no. We are learning how to calculate these things. It seems easy when we are doing this work with a calculator. Apparently we can't even use them. Why have calculator then? Everything we do now a days we use the calculator but for gym we have to do the long division and multiplication on paper. This seemed to be the problem when everyone failed his class. We got to used to using calculators.
Half the stuff we learn in school is not required on the outside in everyday life. When are we gonna find the BMI and MHR without a calculator later on in life? I bet most adults don't even know what that is. I'm done ranting. This is what we are doing in gym class currently. ( Watch my class fail) -_-
Ok, so a rant doesn't make for a great blog post. You have really addressed any ideas here. Why is understanding you BMI useful? How can this information help you?
