What if instead of in the bathrooms they give each teacher a set and the teacher can request more if they run out. Some teachers will be more likely to be asked if they are female/kind, but at least they’ll be at school but not in a place that could be vandalized or stolen


Girls would much rather not have to announce to the whole class they are on their period.


Right? I cannot imagine myself at that age asking any teacher, let alone a male teacher, for a tampon. It's like saying, "excuse me, I'd like to take this moment away from the class discussion and ask you all to focus on my vagina and what's happening down there right now." It's not taboo, it's just nobody's business. Stock the ladies room like a normal school and let girls have their privacy.


Amen!!

PP said he announces at the beginning of the year where they are kept. I take that to mean that girls can help themselves. No announcement necessary.


Sure, reaching for it and grabbing totally doesn’t announce to the whole class “hey I’m on my period!!!” 🙄🙄🙄

When kids have time to work in class, they’re not paying attention to everyone else. There are times it can be done discreetly. Even if that weren’t true, people knowing you need a pad is less embarrassing than walking around in bloodstained pants.

Sure! Are you ok with boys asking for TP too? Let’s keep it all locked up. I’m sure we could save a lot of money by rationing those as well.

This thread is beyond insane. The products are in the bathrooms already.

Clearly not insane since so many need to be educated on the importance of having them in bathrooms.

At least he’s trying. That’s the point. Some posters would rather have kids stay home those days.


Republicans do want to dumb down voters, especially women.
