11/24 Talk about how Korean students clean their won classrooms.

Korean students all chip in to do their part to keep their classrooms spic-and-span.
* chip in: 십시일반하다, 힘을 보태다.
* spic(spick)-and-span: neat, clean, and well looked after.

The entire class is split into groups and the workload is then divvied up.
* divvy up: 나누다, 배분하다, share out
ex> The household chores must be divvied up in a fair way.

Normally the groups go around cleaning in turns.
ex> Each student goes around to serve as a leader of the team in turn.

Some students are assigned to clean as their punishment.
* be assigned to:~의 임무가 주어지다.
ex> I was assigned to work at the new branch downtown.

The desks and chairs are shoved into the back corner of the classroom.
*shove: push (something, someone) roughly
ex> She shoved the books into her briefcase.  The old furniture was shoved into the corner of the attic.
* mop: clean or soak up liquid from by wiping, 걸레질하다.

There are students designated for the restrooms and hallways.
