Not sure how the job and military references fit in, since cleaning toilets is NOT the job of students.

When I worked at a fast food restaurant in high school I had to clean the restrooms there. When I was in basic training, we all had to clean the latrines. Yes, it was far from pleasent but I've yet to hear of any mcdonalds employee catching Ebola and dying from mopping a bathroom floor. If these students find this form of punishment so repulsive, maybe it will encourage them to change the behaviour that landed them in detention in the first place.
