[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe some of you are in favor of this. Bathrooms were inaccessible like this when I was in high school and I coped by not drinking any water at all during the day. I had constant anxiety about needing to use the bathroom and not being able to, and also a lot of headaches and digestive issues from being dehydrated. [/quote]

That’s dramatic.  No one in high school in the 90s early 2000s was carrying around a water bottle drinking water all day.  We were all fine.  No one was have digestive problems and headaches from not carrying around their Stanley all day.

It isn’t that I’m in favor or limiting the bathroom, but I just don’t see it as that big of a deal.  You get 20-30 min lunch plus 5 min in between classes.  Figure out when to fit in bathroom breaks if you need to.  Most heathy teens don’t need to use the bathroom very often. Most teachers grant exceptions too.  If this is a problem for your particular student then talk to principal or teachers.  But it actually is a reasonable expectation for most students to contain bathroom trips to lunch and passing time- and most kids are fine with this

At that time most people were bringing disposable water bottles. Are you really saying it’s totally normal for a teenager to drink nothing all day until they return home from school and this unhealthy or fine? It was hard to go to the bathroom during the five minutes between classes because they would look the bathrooms, or only lock some but you never knew which would be open. 
 You all would riot if an office did this to you but it’s ok for teenagers?[/quote]

Yes. Teens can survive until 2:30 having “only” eaten and drank at breakfast and lunch.  It isn’t some special ops mission to be able to mange going to the bathroom at lunch hour or passing if you need to. As you can see from the teachers chiming in, it’s a complicated problem that is beyond just couple kids, and isn’t limited to only vandalism.  Schools try to limit access to passing and lunch and parents complain, schools try to discipline kids vandalising, parents deny and complain, schools try to limit kids who are seeming to ask for too many passes and are gone too long, parents complain.  Schools can’t win. [/quote]

Serious question, do you only drink liquids at breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I am an adult and I normally drink coffee at breakfast and sip water throughout the day. I normally need to use the bathroom at least twice before lunch, once right when I arrive at the office. Imagine what you would do if an employer told you you could not access a bathroom until lunch time. [/quote]

This is unusual, PP - twice before lunch???[/quote]
