[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are younger than this so please excuse this naive question:

When I was in middle school and high school, we had 4 minutes of “passing time” between classes. If your next class was on the other side of the school, you needed that time to walk there, but most classes were fairly close together, so that was when I changed pads/tampons. And so did everyone else I know. That was when you were supposed to do things like go to the bathroom, get water, go to your locker, etc. So most teachers were unwilling to have you use the bathroom during class, which made perfect sense to me.

Am I missing something here? What’s changed?[/quote]

Some campuses are bigger than others. Some schools only give three minutes. Sometimes when the bell rings your teacher keeps everyone for an extra 30 seconds. Or keeps you. Or you have to talk to them about something. Or you're carrying three classes worth of heavy books and have to go to the other side of campus to dump those in your locker, get the new books for the next three classes and then go back to the side of campus you were just on. Or between classes you have to run to your sibling's class to drop off a paper because he's home sick but that teacher is a jerk and said if the paper isn't handed in that day they get a 0. Or a thousand other things.[/quote]
