In some of the public schools in Taiwan and Japan, the kids are responsible for cleaning up the school. They would learn soon enough.

There was an article this week in the Japanese newspapers about the increasing percentage of men who peed sitting down. One man said he started sitting down after he had the duty of cleaning the result of his poor aim.

I read an article about the students in Japan cleaning their schools, and when asked why they do that,by a western reporter, he was told:

"This is where they receive their education, and they should treat this building with the same respect that they give to their homes."

I thought it made a lot of sense.
