[quote=Anonymous]I taught first grade through third grades and the first year I taught I had some kids who wet their pants.

After that year I started telling the students that they can use the bathroom down the hall during class without penalty. A lot of students find the bathrooms way to chaotic to use during recess. Way too many students in there.

I had them go in pairs and if a kid ever had an accident I would have them often be the partner to the kid who asked to go to encourage them to go as well.

I also told my students if you go into the bathroom and something is making you feel uncomfortable- maybe there is an older students or maybe someone is playing around or looking under stalls, come back to class and I will let you go again in a few minutes. I added that I would never get mad at them for going too often. I figured the kid who said they had to go and really didn't was telling me they just needed a quick break.

There are way too many teachers who don't allow kids to freely go to the bathroom. Sometimes it is because the school is crowded or kids make a mess, but I always thought it was cruel to restrict bathroom access in anyway. [/quote]
