Not me. I think the focus should be on learning. It's a school, not a disciplinary institute. It's also a giant amount of work. A blizzard would mean no school for a few days. It's not like it's a reform school.
Physical exertion is good for the brain. I know in Japan they have the students do all those things that a janitor would normally do. I don't think they make them do lawn care and snow removal though
Yeah, they maintained the property - including shoveling by hand miles of pathways. It was almost like a reform school.
We did keep our dorms clean. We'd even wax and buff the floors. Ain't no way they're letting kids do that these days.
These days, the kids can't even leave the campus on weekends, unless they live in the area. You can't even have your own car on campus. Though I think they make an exception for those who will graduate that year. I think... I'm not actually sure.
Reminds me of when I was in high school. When I went we could go outside for lunch and do whatever we wanted, by the time I graduated nobody was allowed outside of the building at lunchtime.
