I believe SOME ( these brackets are for those trolling around waiting to see what we will say next - only to jump on here and troll the Hell outta this thread ) people here are always charged up to launch some kinda attack to foreigners in this country...

I totally get where you're coming from - my first job in a hakwon I swept and mopped at the end of the evening. was hard but no one else to do it, whatever. I used diluted bleach and cleaned the desks and boy, by the end of the day they needed it!

from then on, I could see when and if a classroom was clean enough as now I had standards to go by. if it wasn't, I cleaned it because ...

desks especially get dirty because kids use pencils and rub their arms on them, it rubs off on the desk, etc. a lot of students, a lot of dirt. I've been in classrooms where the smudges were evident from a distance, gross.

check the other classrooms in your school and see how yours measures up. maybe it needs just a good cleaning and then regular maintenance. but then maybe some cow has a stick up her but(t). whichever it is, figure it out, work a solution and then carry on. certainly not worth worrying about, really. this is something you have control over more or less (that stick might be stuck pretty far!)

fyi, if you use the diluted bleach in a spray bottle, careful about getting it on your clothes - it will spot them.

Depaends.

A lot of places I worked at, I was not in my own classroom.


Where I did have my own classroom, I tried to keep it clean.


The last PS job I worked at had an English classroom, and I do recall

helping my co-teacher clean the floor once.
