Cleaning school toilets may benefit students

STUDENTS AT A PRIMARY SCHOOL in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian province, were reportedly required to clean the school toilets to "help them nurture good habits". Cnr.cn commented on Thursday:

For some of the pupils and their parents, who strongly opposed the idea of their children cleaning the school's toilets, the school is supposed to provide students with a proper education, not the opportunity to be school cleaners.

But they fail to see the benefits of youngsters collectively doing such chores, which have great potential to instill in teenagers a sense of responsibility and a do-it-yourself mentality.
