    T.I.C. Chinese School PE Program Inspection

    via qik.com

    This routine is practiced almost daily for a few months before the inspection. At the start of the year it involved skipping ropes, but our school (neighbouring theirs) showed a lot of interest in basketball, so they incorporated basketballs into their spring routine.

    Every student was asked to bring a basketball from home. The small items on the ground near them are cardboard rings that they made to keep their ball from rolling around at the back of their classrooms. Often during PE classes you'll see the younger students wearing these like bandanas on their heads. Cute!

    Watch to the end to see the speed at which they run to their line-ups to head back into the school. It's that fast even when there isn't an inspection happening.

    A neat look into a very different school culture.
