当然，世界各地的卫生标准都不一样，人在不同的环境长大，对洁净会养成不同的观念。以往在许多国家里，学校的环境清洁整齐，有助学生养成良好的卫生习惯。今天，有些学校的操场，充斥着垃圾和废物的碎片，看上去好像是个垃圾堆而不是给学生休息、嬉戏的地方。教室又怎样？达朗是澳大利亚一所中学的管理员，他说：“现在甚至在教室里，垃圾也随处可见。”有些学生认为，老师吩咐他们“拾起垃圾”或“收拾整齐”，就等于处罚他们。事实上，有些老师的确会用这种方式惩罚学生。

English translation:

Of course, standards of cleanliness are not the same around the world, and people grow up with varying concepts of cleanliness. In times past, a clean, well-ordered school environment in many countries helped students develop good habits of cleanliness. Today, some school grounds are so full of litter and debris that they resemble a garbage dump more than a place to play or exercise. And what about the classroom? Darren, a janitor in an Australian high school, observed: "Now we see filth in the classroom as well." Some students take the instruction "Pick it up" or "Clean it up" to mean that they are being punished. The problem is that some teachers do use cleaning as a means of punishment.
