Genius child alert! Fat girl instantly becomes an expert on anything we learn in class (including nutrition!) If you read my previous post, I am referring to the same fat girl. Guest appearance by slightly-smaller-fat-girl.  Today fat girl asked the entire class again, "Can anyone french braid my hair?" [Crickets] It's not that nobody knew how (I could probably french braid hair if I tried), it's just that nobody wanted to braid her hair.  I should emphasize that fat girl is a total slob appearance-wise. While she talks as if she were the CEO of a major corporation, she looks like a ripped garbage back that fell out of the trash can and blew down the street. Frizzy hair, too-tight clothes with neutral colors that often don't match, unpleasant face, swings her arms ridiculously when she walks, and kinda reminds me of a middle-aged woman.  We finished watching "Supersize Me", and the teacher gave us a surprise worksheet to complete (mostly random facts that were mentioned in the movie). Several people complained, "How are we supposed to remember this stuff?" Fat girl responded with a snarky, "It's easy if you were paying attention!" Yes, I was paying attention and the worksheet was fairly easy. But the thing is, fat girl then proceeds to "help" everyone with the worksheet, and gets at least half the answers wrong. After finishing the worksheet, she continued to preach (to no one in particular) about nutrition like she was now a registered dietitian just because we learned about it in class. She did this in our previous units as well. Meanwhile, the teacher was conducting interviews about each student's diet and exercise habits. I overheard smaller fat girl's interview. Based on the calories we consumed and burned over three days, we were supposed to calculate how much weight we would gain or lose. Funny how the fat girls reported they were "losing", while the thinner kids would say they were "gaining". Smaller fat girl's calculations led her to believe she was losing 9,000 pounds in one year. She said, "I walked around a lot, so I burned a lot of calories." I don't know all the details, but I am concerned for this girl's future. I found the calculations fairly simple. How could she go that wrong? To top it all off, I think her reported "intake" as very low, and the teacher told her to eat more!
