You should be working on your DD’s aversion at home. That’s your job, not her teacher’s.

You don’t think middle schoolers are capable of cleaning a bathroom? But I’m sure your little one is in all AP classes and headed to Harvard? 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t call kids “little one.”

I know middle schoolers are capable of cleaning bathrooms because my kids cleaned the bathrooms at home when they were in middle school.

OP wants her kid’s teacher to teach her to clean a bathroom. That’s OP’s job.

Where did she say she wanted the teacher to do it? And what would be wrong with the teacher doing it?

They used to teach kids how to drive at school. They had home economics classes where kids learned the basics of cooking. But THIS is a step too far 🙄🙄🙄

Who else? The maintenance staff? So it’s their job to teach OP’s DD to clean the bathroom?

It’s OP’s job.

She just doesn’t want to bother.

It can be everything else,'classrooms, washing windows, sweeping floors, cafeteria etc. it would bring a sense of ownership and pride. But our schools are too large.

They do this in a lot of other countries. Children turn out much more grateful, respectful and grounded than the brats we are raising here.

So your answer to OP is no?

I’m not OP. You are responding to someone else. I thought my kid a long time ago how to clean. That’s not the issue in my house. I would love it if all of the kids pitched in and felt a sense of pride and respect for the spaces instead of destroying them. My child can’t even use the bathroom half the time because it’s locked. We are raising monsters in this country and parents like you are the problem.

No thanks. You don’t get to impose your will on me.

It’s my job to teach chores. I don’t want my kids around harsh chemicals. I don’t want my kids associating school with stinky bathrooms. I want my kid to focus on science and math and English and learning. Not toilets.

Clearly they don’t.

We know, Karen. You’re raising a CEO. Not a janitor. Am I right? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

This is exactly why the kids should clean schools.

If you want your kids cleaning toilets then put them in private or send them to Chynaaah.

I agree with you and that’s why I teach my kids to take care of their space, at home and school. OP doesn’t seem to want to do that. She wants someone else to do it. She is the parent who is the problem.

Actually my kid helps a neighbor clean schools and businesses. I don’t think it’s a skill to learn at school. I also think you’re a terrible POS for making such assumptions and putting down custodians, but that’s beside the point.

ok I see what you mean. And I agree it should start at home. But as evident from so many postings here that's clearly not happening at home.

Nice try. I'm only putting you down for thinking it's beneath your kid to clean toilets.
