[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my private school, we cleaned the cafeteria tables and swept. Different people did it for a week and then switched. I can tell you for a fact that there was never anything but a few crumbs on the floor. If anyone spilled something, they'd go to clean it up and apologize to whoever was doing floors that week. [/quote] Did you scrub the toilets? [/quote] Nope. I just told you what we did.[/quote] Great. The topic is cleaning toilets.[/quote] The POINT of the post is students taking an active role in keeping their school clean as a matter of course, which is why I responded with my experience. [/quote] The point is OP wants her child’s teacher to add teaching cleaning bathrooms to their list of things they apparently have to do because parents won’t. [/quote] How are 75% of adults overweight and 40% obese? A simple thing as keeping your weight in check yet their kids look just like them. Teaching good behavior is the same. Most of you self righteous parents on this board who coddle and defend your kids even in virtual anonymity don't know how to parent. The people who have parented properly would most definitely have kids that wouldn't bat an eye when told to do things by their superiors (teachers, coaches, etc.) such as tidy up and clean up shared spaces as a group. Stop setting a bad example by treating public spaces as places you can muddy and make other clean.[/quote] Exactly. The kids most likely to pitch in without complaint are those who are expected to do that at home. OP needs to teach her own kid to do some chores rather than get people on the internet to endorse her plan to get her kid’s teacher to do it for her.[/quote] Ok so as long as kids are expected to clean at home, [b]it’s ok to ask them to do the same at school?[/b] Great![/quote] Of course. Just like you should teach your kids math, reading, writing, and science. That way they won't have trouble keeping up with the low level of the curriculum... low level because of parents like you who didn't teach your kids math, reading, writing, and science. Then there'll be so much time at school that they'll have a few minutes to help keep their school clean. Or else, make schools 5 hours a day with extra optional babysitting hours you pay for as needed because that's about as much studying they ever do anyway. I don't need to be subsidizing your lazy ass and your messy kids who refuses to even keep their school clean.[/quote] Weird that you are saying the parents who teach their kids to do chores are the lazy ones. [/quote] No, it's in reference to the PP who thinks that home life and school life should be kept separate. Meaning, they (you???) think "I teach my kid to clean" and "teachers teach their kids math, etc." In fact, home life and school life should mirror more than contrast. [/quote]
