[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] “During transition periods and more unstructured times, like before school, after school and lunch periods, schools may limit access to designated restrooms.”

So, at the impacted secondary schools, when do kids use the bathroom? During class only? Or wait during lunch for the only open restroom? Will teachers always allow kids to use the bathroom during class?[/quote]

It’s not like there will be no bathrooms. Kids will still be able to go during lunch and between classes. This is no different than when I was in HS in the 70s. I have yet to hear a single kid complain - they’ve got it figured out. [/quote]

What kid is going to publicly complain about having bathroom issues?  That would be almost as bad as the issue itself.  [/quote]

You've got to be kidding me. All people do here is complain about dubious made-up issues.[/quote]

Do you have a kid at one of these HS?  Have you asked them about the bathroom situation?  They definitely are upset about it, including the fact that teachers won’t give bathroom passes.  Talk to your teen.  This isn’t a made up issue.  [/quote]

Kid says it's not that big a deal. Once in a while they come across someone vaping which they ignore.[/quote]

Which school specifically are your kids at?  Because it’s not what I hear from my kid at RMHS, which is one of the affected school.  I think the bathroom issue is a much bigger issue for most of the kids than the guns issue.  (And the kids also all hate the security at entry/exit points, which is probably unnecessary and unhelpful.). But bathrooms being inaccessible is a big deal.[/quote]
DP. I do think it depends on the school, and even the bathrooms.  My kids at RM tell me some bathrooms are worse than others.

Whatever MCPS is doing about this isn't working. And the announcement is just more of the same. Do they really think something will change just because they make this announcement? [/quote]
