Nope. I just told you what we did.

Great. The topic is cleaning toilets.

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.

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.

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.

Schools teach kids all kinds of things that parent won’t or can’t. So what.

So you are good with lazy parents and asking teachers to clean bathrooms on top of everything else they do?

Where did I say that I’m ok with lazy parents. I’m ok with acknowledging they exist because of course they do. And who is asking teachers to clean bathrooms? The topic is kids cleaning bathrooms. Not teachers.

Who would teach kids to clean school bathrooms? How do you teach someone to clean a bathroom? You show them by doing it.

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.

My kids are not brats - they are grateful, respectful and grounded despite having never cleaned their school bathroom. If you want your kids to clean a school bathroom, by all means volunteer them, but don't impose it on everyone else. I want my kids to spend school time learning the curriculum.

What about other stuff they’ll have to take in HS that teaches them life skills? Too good for that too?

When did I say they were too good for cleaning? I can teach them life skills, I can't teach them math.

So then teach them and they can do it at school too. No problem.

Nope, they spend time at home doing chores and time at school learning math. Their teachers teach them math, etc. I teach them how to mop floors. Their teachers do their job and I do mine.

No you don’t. You are raising brats who are vaping in the bathroom so the rest of the kids can’t even go to pee. You are the problem.

You are hilarious. If kids who do chores at home aren’t cleaning school toilets, they are delinquents who vape in the bathrooms?

Most kids in schools these days are menaces who have no respect for property. Why do you think school bathrooms are locked? If you are so clueless, visit a school.

Are your kids menaces?

No. And if they were told to clean at school they’d do it without hesitation.

So most kids, but not yours. Mmm hmm

Just the ones who already do chores at home and come to school to learn? When they aren’t vaping in the bathrooms, of course.

I simply don’t believe that anyone whose kids are doing chores at home including cleaning the bathrooms is going to be so aghast at the suggestion they do it in another space they occupy. You are a liar.

Of course I am. As is the PP who said their child cleaned with a neighbor at schools and businesses. Other kids are menaces, but not yours. Other posters are liars, but not you.

You are one and the same poster. Please.

Everyone is a liar but you.

No. Not everyone. Just you.

Because you are one of those posters who can magically see through your screen and know who is posting? Maybe you’re Jeff? Are you Jeff?

There really is more than one person who would rather their kids learn math and science and writing at school, and save cleaning the bathroom for home. But if you want your kids to do it, I doubt anyone would stop you.
