Wuhan Badminton School

This is a picture at what they call a primary school, which is grades 1-6.  This is a unique primary school in that it specializes in teaching the students how to play, get this, badminton!  Yes, the students are sent here because their parents want them to learn badminton from amateur and professional badminton players who are their badminton instructions.  The students spend 1.5 hours per day learning badminton.  In this picture, the students are all out in the activity area in front of the school doing their morning exercises in unison led by two of their students who have proven to be the best at it.  Before they went out, all of the students had to do a 5 minute eye massage ritual to protect their vision which is strained from all of the required reading.  What is interesting is that I haven't met anyone who thinks it is useful.
