[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm truly floored by the bathroom situation, and have apparently been living entirely in a private school bubble. But that would be an absolute deal-breaker for me. Kids are human and access to a safe bathroom is a basic human right (and is recognized as such by the UN). If schools can't meet this minimum standard there is a major issue and I would move heaven and earth to avoid sending my kid to that school, be it through going (or staying) private or moving.[/quote]

Don’t overrreact. Kids at public school can always go to the bathroom. The school might shut down one set of bathrooms that is remote or that has proven to be a problem in the past. But there are plenty of other bathrooms available. It is like at the mall or on metro. Sometimes a bathroom is closed off. Not the end of the world. [/quote]

Agree.  They can use the bathrooms, there are just a lot of rules around it. [/quote]

+1. All of the bathrooms at my kids’ HS are open and they can go whenever as long as it’s not the first 15 minutes of class. People need to calm down with this urban legend about no bathrooms being open.[/quote]

So, if you're sitting in blood 10 minutes into class, what happens?[/quote]

So at your kids’ school, they can just get up at and walk out of the classroom at any point without a word to anyone to use the bathroom? Or is there structure, and rules, and exceptions to rules in an emergency? Psst…it’s the latter in public and private. But good try with the straw man.[/quote]
