After lunch everyday is cleaning time. Occasionally with my JHS I feel that this time will come after school, especially if school on that day ends early. The students are required to clean their classrooms, hallways, stairwells, bathrooms, and pretty much the entire school, and will then call upon the teachers to come and check their work before they can be released to any sort of leisure activity for the remainder of their down time before class or club begins.
Their cleaning consists of sweeping the floors of the every room, as well as cleaning the chalk board erasers, the chalk board trey, washing the chalkboard, washing the bathrooms, as well as a variety of other stuff. Yeah, washing bathrooms. That really surprised me as well. What kid would willingly clean a bathroom. I am not even sure what their punishment is or if there is any for not doing it.
Though of course I could tell you of some students past who I know didn't even know the right end of a broom handle until well after school. So no I can say that not all students do it, but like it was in nearly all schools, the kids that get away with it pretty much fly under the radar or else everyone is too afraid of being a 'tattle-tale' to be the first to point a finger.
