The National Assembly will be weighing in on the practice of weighing in.
More than 4,000 parents have signed a petition calling for an end to the practice of weighing students during gym class.
Corinne Payne, the president of the Quebec Federation of Parents' Committees said her daughter has been repeatedly weighed in class.
"Some schools do it, some teachers do it, some do it in public, some do it in private," she told CTV Montreal. "She said 'it has to stop, this is not right. It's not right for us to stand in front of our friends and have to say what our weight is.'"
Many teenagers and their parents say schools are opening up students to humiliation.
Anorexia and Bulimia Quebec are also calling on the government to implement change, saying weighing students in class can trigger serious body image issues or eating disorders.
"[My daughter] told me at one point in time, in her high school, 'Mommy you know I have a friend who doesn't eat lunch ever, because she thinks she's too big. But she's not. She's way too small'" Payne said.
There are many, including Dr. Pierre-Olivier Nadeau of Ste. Justine hospital who believe the numbers on a scale shouldn't be a focal point, and instead schools should promote healthy eating and exercise habits.
"It's understandable that you want to help people understand what's their weight and what it means, but it creates self-awareness and negative self-talk," said Dr. Nadeau.
MNAs are holding hearings on the topic, and a committee will make recommendations to the Ministry of Education.
