I think they clean the elevators in the school's building with fingernail polish remover.

Seriously.

Yes, the world is probably coming to an end. Some guy claiming to be Jesus has stolen a truck.

Were you cleaning the desks in a closet or some other small, confined space... like an elevator?

If the school was a few floors higher I would have died.

Tell me about it. Desks should be cleaned daily and no one is doing it. It's not my job and I'll be damned if I'm going to do it. The only time I do is when I have a pizza or chicken party after we finish a book. Then I feel somewhat responsible to. Other than that, no way. I'm no janitor.

You guys who have someone cleaning up after you are living the good life.

I teach at an ultra-prestigious school, where teachers make around $50,000 a year. They are all expected to clean their own offices -- desks, floors, walls, etc. The only variation is when the students (paying around $15,000 a year to attend) are asked to sweep up some of the classrooms for the more-favored Korean teachers.

I'd be happy to educate management about efficient division of labor, but I don't teach economics and life-long education is a concept foreign to most of Korea.

Yeah, the cleaning lady at my school I think uses the toilets as a bucket to dip the mop in. Smells like a bathroom in the school every morning. Sad
