So while at least 5% of kids are in the top percent in school, and there are at least 25 top twenty law schools, there are also probably 20% of all kids in the US who are in the bottom 5% in weight.

I thought the growth charts were based on emaciated children of Appalachian miners. L'il Ty has checked it at 95% and 90% in height and weight. Maybe we're dealing with a non-Bell curve distribution? I feel like I hear about lots of kids at either end of the spectrum, but no one in between.
Then again, I live in the Viking neighborhood.
