We already have rot our brains, stressed ourselves due to many
assignments, homework, projects and even reports. Cleaning may be one of our responsibility but it should not be given all the time. Everytime we get to school we clean but some students complain saying “I’m so tired, I can’t even move my legs” or “I’m done cleaning record me”,This is because of overloaded work. Overloaded work can cause stress and exhaustion and this can even affect our attitude and behaviour when we are in school. Did you know that 70% people in the world who are studying is facing stress. This rate gets higher everyday according to CBC. Yes, we are given points when we clean but is it the right way to motivate us? This way of motivation is one of the reasons why Students should not be given monitorial assignments.
The problem here is we shouldn’t be given monitorial assignments
just because of the grades that we receive but the concerns for the environment. Students nowadays think that they are already responsible by cleaning but there is still more to learn than that because cleaning is not the main focus of the school it is only a part of it. The solution for this is that students can be given monitorial assignments but not every day because this can cause even more stress. What is even the point of giving us monitorial assignments when we are just hungry for high grades. Is that the system that we want? The want to improve ourselves but not the environment? This is just selfish. The benefits that we can receive from this is we have more time for ourselves. The time to relax and forget the rough times that we’ve been through in our lives. We are too young to experience any of these stressful activities. We can even be more responsible in the future because when we get to adulthood we will be out of school and there is no one to give you grades to keep you moving that’s why we need to move and clean by ourselves.
All in all, we can start motivating ourselves by cleaning for the
environment not for the grades received starting today. We are very stressed and exhausted that monitorial assignments should not be given every day. The right way to teach us and the next generation is to be more selfless. Remember, “Motivate yourself in cleaning the environment, not for the points.”
