However, I don’t want to write this article as a typical success story, there’s enough of it on the web.

• Physical Education Around the World

  As a Russian student I can confirm that PE classes in our schools are considered optional by kids. Fake notes from the doctor, absence at the lessons, and "I forgot my uniform" are very common excuses. What about the rest of the world?
