Not sure how the job and military references fit in, since cleaning toilets is NOT the job of students.
At the Catholic school I attended, students had to do this and worse as punishment. There were also work-study students who received full and partial tuition waivers for performing janitorial duties after school.

The danger aspect of this is rather trumped up. It's unpleasant, but detention should suck.
