TAF CLUB SUCKS BIG TIME
-
If you thin but never exercise do drugs, drink beer and smoke they still wont put you in TAF.Whereas if you are overweight dont smoke, drink or do drugs and still exercise they put you in TAF.So weight-centred.Can the MOE policy makers answer to their blantant bullsh*t policy that is crappy.
There are people in my school and other school who are thin but still smoke or some other vice than the teacher dare tell us their healthier just because they have less bodyfat -
Our country is a small country n our politicians keep getting bully by other country's leaders,thus they have a "sympathetic feeling" towards thin ppl,as thin ppl= they themselves.They dont like fat ppl becoz fat ppl=big bully=other country leaders who keep on bullying them......Thats y our politicians favour thin ppl.Just my 2 cents.

WTF

Looks to me, the MOE advocates DISCRIMINATION.
They forget that some people, are basically Thin & Fcuked-up!
Wake up MOE! Stop teaching the young in schools how to DISCRIMINATE!
Thin, Fat, Ugly, Beautiful, Healthy Unhealthy, Rich or Poor, Jobless or Gainfully Employed; these are all HUMANS!
Hello, MOE, wake up!
Aren't you people supposed to be highly educated enough to differentiate between Educating people, from mongering discrimination??? -
Ha ha... just realise that TAF is FAT backwards....
Some ppl have no consideration. -

The way TAF is implemented is just wrong, especially in the modern context of weight loss.
TAF is the old way of losing weight- the old school system. The new system calls for, not just weight loss per se, but also overall development so as to ensure that the person or people under the new system don't lose their motivation and their self esteem. -

And if you wanna lose weight, it's not just about running 2hrs non stop- it's about three things:
1) proper diet
2) weight lifting(light to moderate)
3) proper cardio
When you are losing weight long term, it's about jacking up your metabolism rate. This means that only running and purely running will not help you lose weight unless you start eating more healthly(and eating of your oily and favourite foods in moderation) and also do some moderate weight lifting.
Of course, I'm ain't advocating you become a big musclar monster, but to lose weight, you need muscles, you need a high metabolism rate and you need a proper diet(so as to include foods that help you burn fat, instead of storing more fat). -
Hes a bench presser from what i have read and he said thin people who do drugs smoke and drink unless you do this than no point comparing

Ah, drug addicts need to exercise- if anything else to distract them from taking drugs. I have seen some smokers and gamblers being athletic as well.
But you are right, if anything else, TAF shdn't be just for those who are fat, but also those who are thin and also unfit as well. Nerds especially need to get out more. Exercise is one way to get them out of the computer rooms.
And it's not as if you now need a PC to surf the Net. if you gotta the dough, the latest Bluetooth handphone-cum-PDA can allow u to surf the net wireless anytime, any day.
Pple need to get out more. -
well some people smoke and abuse drugs and are atheletic but sometimes they even get ill more often, wheareas some are fat but dont get ill so often.
The worst is those who are fat, drink and smoke and take drugs and always get ill.Thats really bad -
Come on, those people who implemented this TAF program, admit it; this is a lousy and brainless idea! It's STUPID!
Amend it, or abolish it.
For all the IQ that policy-makers here possesses, they sure lack EQ! -
well. overweight ppl r likely to get heart disease. don u agree??

they are likely to get heart disease but the point here is dont just focus on weight anyone can be unhealthy

when i read the topic, i had a hard time deciphering the acronym. first i thought it was Tengeh Air Field. took me a while to guess it's trim and fit (hope i didn't get it wrong).
anyway during my time we never had such clubs. guess times are different now. we eat better and we eat more so obesity has become an issue. the fact that the ministry goes through all these trouble to shape our kids up goes to show that they do care, at least from the policy point of view. a healthy lifestyle is best inculcated from young. if it cannot be done from home, the next best place would be the school.
having said that, kids nowadays are a lot more sophisticated then they used to be, so the good old "do as you're told" methodology apparently does not work as well anymore. so perhaps we can approach the issue slightly differently.
1. get them interested in sports
we can expose them to a few sports and along the way if they find something that they like or suits them, they will naturally do more of that (those) sport(s). exercise / trimming / keeping fit then creases to be a chore but becomes fun and enjoyable. instead of exasperating ourselves and making them miserable, they become self motivated and we sit back and appreciate / encourage their progress.
2. glamorise sports
when something becomes hip, that something is chased after by the kids and teenagers. i know it's kind of hard to glamorise such things as badminton or tennis but really it can be done. have inter-class competitions. let the competitions be held in front of the whole school. let the champs be put on a pedestal like a hero for fellow kids to emulate ...
3. make them understand
unlike in the army where everything is complied to unquestioningly, for kids, especially when they're going through pain, it's easy to forget about the purpose or the goal. adolescence is the time of raging hormones which is the source of powerful energies or impulses that would be best channeled into sports.
sports is something you enjoy for life. you feel the exhilaration of speed when you're coming round the bend, the rush of adrenaline when diving to retrieve the shuttle, the breezy swooshes around your face when you're slicing through air, the spirit and comaraderie of team sports which build character ...
later on in life, it becomes a topic for conversation, a bond between friends, an occasion for you to meet new people and even possibly your future spouse, employer, customer, lucky star ...
be it for the love of sports or a genuine desire to become trim and fit, staying fit and healthy also means that you will look good, which in turn affects such things as your image, the confidence you carry with yourself which in turn affects your popularity and basically shapes your destiny.
4. do something else
if running is too tough, then perhaps they can start off with aerobic or mass exercises in the hall. -
i second the idea of having TAF but perhaps they can conduct the sessions in more discreet manner e.g. indoor. so that the participants wont feel discriminated.
