Are they sort of lucky that I don't almost flunk all of them?

It's probably not illegal, but if you really want to try a new career path it might be a good idea.
If you're interested in pest control, there's always openings. Bugs don't care which bugs you dislike more. They don't care who you show contempt for. At least with pest control you can be 100% sure you are better than them. There's no question that they deserve the worst treatment you can produce.
However, with humans you don't have that luxury. You don't know why they're skinny or overweight. The skinny ones could have a very fast metabolism. Liu Xiang is skinny but just try to say he's not an athlete (refrence East Asian Games).
The overweight ones could have problems at home. Sometimes people overeat when they are having stress they don't know how to deal with.
PhysEd does not equal M.D. or P.H.D. Until you acquire a degree, don't be so pompous and arrorant to think you have the power to determine who should fail based solely on weight or lack thereof.
Drop us a hint of which school you work at so we can help you start a new career.

you're supposed to give grade for skills, aptitude and effort, not appearance. I was an overweight ballerina for 8 years and guess what as "fat" (though it's relative in that business) as I was, no one could make jumps and splits as high and fast as meI. thank God my instructor was not narrow minded and thought of me as less of an althlete becasue I was chubby in my thighs. it's not illegal to give bad grades, it's just a lack of ethics on your part, you're in the wrong business if you judge athletes by their physical apperance rather than their ability to compete and the effort thtey put into it. try to sell your idea to the special olympics guys! Meanwhie I sure hope you're not my kid's Phys Ed teacher, he is underweight and not athletic at all, but he kicks *** at Tae Kwon Do, so if you're his teacher and he gets lower grades because he can't do 15 pushups, I'll kick your *** with my fat thighs

it depends on how did you come up with that grade..as a teacher you have these so called grading system wherein your student's grade is being based and so if these skinny or obese students of yours deserve a low grade based on the grading system then its not in any way illegal btu if you just graded them because of the mere fact that they're obese or skinny then that's where illegality comes in.

It isn't against the law, but i am over weight and i got an A every term. Base your grading on if they come to school and participate. 10 points each.

If they aren't participating in class then no. If they are participating to their best ability then yes it is illegal and it is called discrimination.

WTF? of course it is! and if not, how about immoral! you are not grading them on their apperaence. You are grading on performance..if the obese kids don't run as far as they are supposed to then yes, it would be alright.
