Yes, I have a team of three girls who come and do my room. Poor buggers.
Sometimes I feel bad that they have to do it, so I give them candy.  |

Becareful with that. I did the same thing and it created a massive fight in the class of the children who did it. I had to stop giving them things, though my room was always cleaner with them  |

My students get assigned tasks by their homeroom teachers - probably much the same with ilovebdt's. I do hope it helps that I'm the only teacher who always makes a point of saying 'thank-you'. |

No no no So do mine. They are assigned. That makes it worse, cause the other children are cleaning somewhere else and getting nothing and the children in your room get something (candy, though the thank you is welcomed, I say it too). It causes a lot of resentment |

| Well I guess I'm lucky then that it's only a desk and I don't have my own room. They do look a bit puzzled sometimes, wondering how to clean the mountains of papers and crap I have on my desk so they can wipe it clean. |

Oh, this isn't a regular thing. It's once in a blue moon. They just had to take out two ugly bags of rubbish.  |

Yes, my kids were assigned to my room. I ALWAYS say thank you too. |

Dont listen to the nutjobs here!
Dont do it.
Tidy up your room, put chairs on desks, pick up any paper or major stuff(which your students should be doing before they leave...perhaps the last 5 minutes of the day)
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you be vacumming or mopping! You do have a degree, you earned it to avoid doing jobs like that! If some dumbass wants to clean and mop floors let them...dont do it yourself. |
What is his job? To sit on his ass? preparing lessons? At a kindie hagwon? Are you serious? He contributes to the room being dirty. He should help out. Period, end of story. Is the one Korean teacher supposed to clean it all while he sits on his ass? |
What do you disagree with? Is something wrong with a last 5 minute cleaning? Let us know what YOU do! Are we suppose to look for hairs that fall off our body each day and vacuum them with our mouths? |
I doubt he vacuums with his mouth. He isnt cleaning up hairs that fall from his body but he crap that falls on the floor during the lessons and lunchtime/snacks.
What would YOU have him do? Watch the Korean teacher do it all? |
You ignored the request to say what YOU do. How much cleaning do you do to your room/s every day? Do you have to stack chairs, sweep, mop and scrape paint every day? Before you get down off your high-horse, just answer that simple question you previously dodged. |
Thats why I got out of the hagwon game. So I dont have to do this crap. At my school the kids clean everything, even my office. When I worked at a hagwon I was happy to help out as I didnt want to be the kind of lazy guy people hate. |
So at your hagwon you cleaned the floors, scraped dried-up paint, etc.? If not, your little scolding is nothing more than arrogant holier-than-thou bs. You can't tell people not to complain about doing something you've never had to do, don't want to do, and can't empathize with.
However, if you were well-accostomed with the desk cleaner spray bottle and gum scraper at your hagwon, I will stand corrected.
