I don't how best to handle this, so am seeking viewpoints!
DD (17) has a cleaning job at her school for two hours every day. Most of the cleaners are pupils although there are some adult cleaning staff, including a supervisor. There is a rota drawn up of who cleans what area. However, whereas most people have been assigned areas they clean regularly, dd finds out every day where she is to clean.
Initially she was told that she would have her own room to clean once she had been doing the job for a few weeks. She's been there since October now, and still has no regular room. Quite often (at least twice a week) the supervisor tells her to go and clean the toilets - not a particular set of toilets, but any set he tells her to go to. This is despite the fact that her name is not on the rota against the toilets. The toilets are supposed to be cleaned by the adult "proper" cleaning staff.
She has pointed this out a couple of times, and has been told that, when a regular room becomes available, she will be assigned one of those. This hasn't happened.
Ok - I really really don't want her cleaning these loos. The stories she tells me of the state they are often in makes me feel ill. I won't revolt you all before lunch with the details but let your imaginations run riot!
It's not a case of me thinking cleaning toilets is beneath her, although personally I would never expect anyone to clean one after me. However, I do think she is being taken advantage of, and I also think that she should be given proper equipment (eg, overalls, gloves, clean loo brushes etc).
She doesn't like doing it, but does do it because of the money. I have told her what I think but haven't made an issue of it. But the things she tells me are so disgusting and I just don't think she should have to deal with it. So if I insist she gives up the job, am I giving her the wrong message (ie, making her think she is "too good" for this sort of work), or am I allowing my dd to be taken for a ride! As I said earlier, she has tried to tackle the issue with the supervisor, but hasn't got anywhere.
So WWYD?
