I know schools think they have have student slave labor but these slaves suck at cleaning the school. I know this issue has been discussed before about how the students don't clean and spend their time pushing dust around and using their brooms as baseball bats but what I'm talking about is different.
As far back as I can remember, at every school I've worked in, my schools' floors have been slippery...like a skating rink. I was just thinking about it today. I have never seen any of the floors ever being waxed. There's just something about wax that having 100 students on all-foors with wet rags can't accomplish.

Something I noticed the other day, massive collections of old spider webs that you just don't see in American schools. Janitors are professionals, in as far as they get paid to clean. The students are sloppy and do a half-hearted job. Japanese schools would definitely be better off with people who are there to do nothing but clean the school 24-7-365.

My question is...who are those people at school that seem to be janitors and act like chaning a lightbulb in the teacher's room takes massive amounts of skill? I often see them out cutting grass, watering plants, but mostly I see them inside drinking tea and talking with the secretary...eerr...administrative assistant.
To give my current school a fair shake, we don't have one of those people at my current school, but a lot of schools I've worked at in the past have had them. Wouldn't those be the people responsible for the major janitorial jobs throughout the school? In my 5.5 years in Japan, I have NEVER seen a hallway waxed.

We have floor waxings at least once a year. Big deal, desks moved to different rooms, some students will volunteer to come in on the weekend to help out. It does happen. You just have to steal the right memo to find out about it.
Japan is by far the dustiest country I have ever lived in. One week without sweeping the floor and I see dustbunnies rolling by.
