It is 1pm right now, which is the official time to clean the school. There are no school janitors here; instead, the kids spend half an hour every day cleaning the entire school (classrooms, hallways, teacher's rooms and bathrooms). Normally, I would welcome anyone into my place of work that would be willing to clean it for me, but in this case... well... To start with, the kids use the same cloths every day. Each kid has one cloth, which they use for absolutely every surface they touch. I've seen kids clean the floor, and then come over to my desk and wipe it down. Super.
Also, there is a stain on my desk that has been there since the day I got here (six weeks ago). It's a fairly visible sticky spot. I see the kids wipe it every day, but not once has it been scrubbed - so it's still there.
To summarize, my work area is not getting any cleaner, in fact, it's probably dirtied by the cleaning effort. Ah well, I guess that's just how things are done here.
