I understand Japanese schools, for example, have no janitors. The students themselves clean up after themselves every day.
I would look forward to this kind of approach to education, and teach American kids to look after themselves. But I don't think that's what anyone who is behind this silly "community service" sh!t really has in mind.
Hmm......to curb illegals and their employment here, does this mean the kids will be out picking lettuce, etc? I wonder.........
The devil is in the details.
True - My girls attend for two months each summer. There is a rotation of responsibilities including sweeping, dusting, taking care of the animals and plants, chalkboards, trash, serving lunch, picking up and returning lunch items from the kitchen(they eat in the classroom), cleaning the halls, etc. Kids actually enjoy it as a break from sitting and it’s expected as a matter of course so there isn’t any complaining.
That being said - there is no such thing as compulsory voluntarism and what they are referring to here is a croc.

That will never happen in the United States, the janitors' union will not permit it.
However, it is distinctly possible that the janitors will sit around doing nothing all day and collecting a fat paycheck (half of which will be donated to the Democrats) while the child volunteers actually clean the school.
