[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get reach for the principal to not care. So before this isuse makes youeven more frustrated, think about it....

Is your DD bathroom issue only because of "feminine hygiene". If so, it should not happen more than 5 time a month. Also, aren't the tardies counted per class? Is her bathroom visit at the same time each day? If so, a reasonable teacher should excuse at least one or two, especially if it's not being abused and the  kid is otherwise a good and on-time student. This is a good learning opportunity for your kid. She doesn't need to thell the teacher WHY, just that she was waiting to use the bathroom.

I would tell my daughter to  try and visit the bathroom earlier. But I am less concerned with a few tardies or unexcused absences. 5 minutes is not going to affect her learning that much - the average teacher does not start teaching critical material for a 9am class at 9am on the dot.

Also the administration probably knows the issue, because they can see the kids walking in the hall after class starts or waiting to use the bathroom. I'd save my  "Mom handling my kids problem" email for a bigger hill.

No doubt in my mind that you're a man. As a woman and a mom, this is absolutely something i would bother the administration with. It's a great learning opportunity for the school to figure out how to manage the children's physical needs without punishing them. Enough is enough. Adults can do better than simply locking up bathrooms. [/quote]
