Weighing. We have to be able to measure children. What is the view of the Department in that regard? We have met primary and post-primary teachers and they all have a particular view on weighing children at school. I have asked the same question of everybody. I would like to know the Department's view on measuring children. I am not only referring to weight, but to height and everything else including their fitness and mobility.
