BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- A campaign to get China's schoolchildren running for their health over the winter has caused a public controversy since it was launched by the Ministry of Education on Sept. 28.
But a user of Sina.com said it was impractical and difficult to implement all over the country. Not all students were capable of long-distance running and they should have right to refuse.

The running tracks were also a focus of the controversy.

Many campuses had no big playgrounds for long-distance running uggs boots clearance, especially in rural areas. Even if they had air jordan heels 2011, the scheduling of running for thousands of students could be a problem, said many Internet users.
Primary schoolchildren must run 1 km per day, junior high school students 1.5 km, and senior high and college/university students 2 km.
Parents also showed their concern over the campaign.
