I honestly believe that no school should have janitorial staff except for the heaviest or most challenging cleanup jobs. Kids should take turns cleaning their own schools. The benefits are beyond my ability to count.

When I was in elementary school, every kid took turns working in the cafeteria for one day. Does anyone still do that?

You can have your children do it in your school. My children attended school to learn, not clean up.

Private education provides for you to choose that type of school if you wish. Government schools should be abolished for any number of reasons, not the least of which is the type of mischief you describe.
