Human rights
[edit]The school forces students to take part in the "Paocao" (literally "Running Gymnastics") and forces some classes to run much more laps as a physical punishment. The school authority claims to improve students' constitutions in this way, but the real effect still remains unknown. It can be a special precaution to develop collectivism. It also occupies many legal holidays without reasons.
