School cleaning学校のそうじ
In Japan, it is the students’ responsibility to keep their school spotless. The task of cleaning
individual classrooms, halls, and bathrooms begins in elementary school and continues right
through high school. As a result of their efforts, the students tend to be respectful of school
property. In addition to sweeping the floors and washing the chalkboards, students also get
down on their hands and knees with damp cloths to clean the floors.
