Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits.But some parents are strongly against the idea.They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂事)．They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.

In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally (同等地)important role in developing the character of students.It is good for schools to give students such tasks，because few of the students will do them at home.Their parents want them to do homework only.

In recent years, some parents will make_mountains_out_of_molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools.Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools' teaching methods and management.As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt.This is bad for the development of students' best qualities.

What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising.Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students' minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork.Also, it can make students' in?school experiences more meaningful.

①Many_parents_think_that_it's_very_difficult_to_get_their_children_to_do_chores. But I don't think so.

My daughter is ten years old.At night, I write down her chores for the following day.Then I stick (贴)the paper with chores on her door.Usually she gets three to eight chores a day.It depends on how she does chores.If she does all of her chores well, she can get fewer chores the next day.②一些杂务是容易的，_比如扫地，叠衣服和晚饭后擦桌子。

For my other two children, the chores are different because they are very young.They both know how to put their empty(空的)dinner plates in the dish?washer(洗碗机)．My 19?month?old son helps me put the dirty clothes in the washing machine (洗衣机) when I am washing the clothes.They can also help me when I'm working in the yard.They help me pick up the sticks(树枝)and throw them away.
