Wasserman, who suggested that teachers should be required to take the GTO, is not ready to take the GTO yet 17:12

State Duma deputy Sergei Kolunov proposed introducing an obligation for schoolchildren to pass GTO standards; his colleague Anatoly Wasserman believes teachers should also pass the standards. In a conversation with socialbites.ca, Wasserman promised to discuss with his colleagues the issue of mandatory passage of the GTO for deputies. And he admitted that he was personally “too lazy” for physical education.

“Obviously, among the deputies there are several disabled people who, for obvious reasons, are unlikely to cope with such a complex. When we discuss the proposal to the school, I will try to ask my colleagues if it is possible for them to participate in this issue. I think so (it would be useful. – socialbites.ca). “If you look at the experience of my father, who devoted about half an hour a day to physical education, this investment of time was completely compensated by the fact that he worked much faster than me in the future,” he said.

Wasserman added that lawmakers would “try” to pass the standards if they had to pass the GTO.

“As for me, I am generally in good health for my age, but I am too lazy to do physical exercise unless someone forces me to. “Well, if they’re happy with it, I’ll try it,” he concluded.

On December 8, State Duma deputy Sergei Kolunov appealed To the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergei Kravtsov with a proposal to make passing GTO standards mandatory for Russian schoolchildren, except for those with medical contraindications. Deputy Anatoly Wasserman, in a conversation with RIA Novosti, expressed the opinion that the requirement would apply not only to students, but also to teachers and school doctors. According to him, anyone can pass the GTO standards because it is the “basic level of physical development”.

Formerly Deputy Wasserman offered At school, study “types of lies” using the example of “GULAG Archipelago”.
