When Newt Gingrich floated the common-sense idea that maybe public school kids in America might be taught responsibility, work ethics and pride in a job well done with doing some of the janitorial work at their own schools (something that is just a normal part of school in places like Japan), the Left had a hissy fit.
However, have the little darlin’s skulking about the campus, pencils raised, a citation “reminder” pad in hand, well, then!
On the website page is a link to a 26-page EPA report entitled, “Sensible Steps to Healthier School Environment.” In the report’s chapter on Energy Efficiency, the EPA presents a box with items to help establish “Energy Efficiency Opportunities for Schools.”
One of the items in the box reads, “Educate students and staff about how their behaviors affect energy use. Some schools have created student energy patrols to monitor and inform others when energy is wasted.” […]
The APS website says that patrol members can be provided with ID tags, vests and clipboards. Their responsibilities include leaving reminders to better conserve energy in rooms they find that have the lights on but are unoccupied.
Forward! Pavlik Morozov!

A talented head cook at a school in central Sweden has been told to stop baking fresh bread and to cut back on her wide-ranging veggie buffets because it was unfair that students at other schools didn’t have access to the unusually tasty offerings. Annika Eriksson, a lunch lady at school in Falun, was told that her cooking is just too good.
Pupils at the school have become accustomed to feasting on newly baked bread and an assortment of 15 vegetables at lunchtime, but now the good times are over. The municipality has ordered Eriksson to bring it down a notch since other schools do not receive the same calibre of food – and that is “unfair”.
Moreover, the food on offer at the school doesn’t comply with the directives of a local healthy diet scheme which was initiated in 2011, according to the municipality.
“A menu has been developed… It is about making a collective effort on quality, to improve school meals overall and to try and ensure everyone does the same,” Katarina Lindberg, head of the unit responsible for the school diet scheme, told the local Falukuriren newspaper

They’re so focused on healthy eating, sex ed., and global warming it’s amazing they have any time leftover to teach kids reading & math. Oh…
You know the real reason they’re doing this is so that these little energy monitors will start criticizing energy waste at home and elsewhere. Disgusting.

Their responsibilities include leaving reminders to better conserve energy in rooms they find that have the lights on but are unoccupied.
Or, they could install motion-detector light switches, they way they do in the civilized world.
There are people out there who need jobs. Those people could get government jobs monitoring if other people are leaving the lights on.
