In other countries, students clean the schools one hour and 15 minutes each week.

I think that having the student clean the school is a waste of school time. The time spent cleaning should be used for educational purposes or for extra curricular activities, not for sweeping the floors.

Having the kids clean the schools is a bad idea because it would put millions of janitors out of a job. Right now, the job of janitor is among other entry level jobs, like cashier. These jobs help get young adults get a steady income. These are the only thing keeping these people off the streets.

The last reason we shouldn’t have kids clean the schools instead of janitors is plainly because kids simply can’t do all the things adults janitors can do. For example, climbing a ladder to change a light. A kid on a ladder is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Also, kids can’t be graded on the quality of their cleaning, there is nothing motivating them to do good work. However janitors jobs depend on the quality of their work.

In conclusion, it is a bad idea to have kids work. It would get rid of jobs and kids simply can’t do some of the things that janitors can. For these reasons, there is not a doubt in my mind that having the kids clean the school is a terrible idea.
