    When it comes to children and school, safety always comes first… unless of course you live in China. Then safety comes right after a clean window.

    One elementary school in Beijing, China requires its children to clean the windows as routine task once a week.
    [​IMG]

    Every Wednesday, students climb out the classroom window, standing on a 10 centimeter (less than 4 inches) wide platform and clean the windows without any safety protection. Some windows are as high as 3 stories.

    The school officials say this is their way of shaping their students will and bravery.

    ^it's china though, i think they can find an excuse, i mean they already made up an excuse to make this happen i don't think it would be that hard for them to cover up their mistakes...

    This is dangerous man. I wonder why they didn't use any cleaning materials to support the children to clean the window? Maybe they want to save cost
