Cleanliness

Another one of my inevitable fears as a teacher are germs. Honestly in my eyes teachers are powerful and in most cases the most influential person in most people. If teachers can teach division or fractions why not cleanliness? Certainly I understand that germs and sickness is going to happen, it is unavoidable. But teachers have the control over the amount of germs in their classrooms. My plan is to have the students spray their chairs and desk before leaving to the next class. Also if the principal or teacher can provide scented soap that would promote students to wash their hands when in the restrooms. Schools should put aside time to teach students the important facts and hazards of germs. If schools can find time to teach sports, music, or another extracurricular actives that are outside the normal realm of the curriculum why not add how not to get your teacher sick.
