Primary school students in Baozhang, Sichuan received serious burns on their feet after they were made to run barefoot on the school track in the hot sun for forgetting to bring sneakers to gym class. In four P.E. classes throughout the day this past Monday, more than 10 students were asked to run barefoot on the track. The high that day was 37˚C.

All students made to run have varying degrees of burns of their feet. Four students were hospitalized and two will be discharged soon. The school and local education department are currently investigating the incident.

Many teachers, US and here, are desperate control freaks. That's why it's much better to hire ego maniacs like me instead. Control freaks abuse students, ego maniacs fish for compliments.

The rules say you need to bring shoes to gym class. If you don't know how to follow rules, you don't belong in China! This is a society where nothing is more important than following the rules and laws. The orderly way everything happens here is a marvel to behold. The very definition of efficiency. Burned feet are a small price to pay to learn one of life's most important lessons and one everyone in China knows well. Follow the rules.
