Our classroom is cleaned every day after school ends. The floor is swept carefully by the students on duty, and the desks and chairs are wiped with a damp cloth. Even the blackboard is erased before anyone leaves. The classroom is expected to be tidy before the next school day begins.
Every month, a new schedule is made by the class teacher. The duty list is posted on the wall so that every student knows when it is their turn. Each student's name is written on the list, and no one is left out. Students are asked to arrive a little early on their duty day to get ready.
Some students wonder why cleaning is such an important part of school life. The answer is simple: when a room is kept clean and tidy, it is much easier to concentrate on studying. The classroom is used by over thirty students every day. When it is not cleaned well, it can feel uncomfortable and hard to focus.
Cleaning duty also teaches students valuable lessons that cannot be found in a textbook. When the floor is swept and the desks are put in order, students learn to respect shared spaces and work as a team. A clean classroom is not made by one person alone — it is created by the whole class working together.
At the end of each school day, the classroom is checked by a teacher to make sure everything is in order. If something is missed, the students on duty are reminded to fix it. This practice teaches everyone that a clean environment is valued and respected by the whole school community.
