You are meeting with parents who are concerned about a recent survey that found a high percentage of students in your county are obese. The parents start to debate, with one group of parents blaming the others for faulty parenting and the other group of parents staunchly defending the position that obesity is in the genes. Another parents starts blaming you and school lunches. It’s time for you to take control of the meeting.
