[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did I miss the part where the kid pooped her pants?  Actually pooped? If your kid feels poop coming out, and doesn't ring the emergency bell, I dare say her mother needs to teach her not to be treated like a doormat. And if it is the more ghastly and emergent diarrhea then why is she in school if she's sick? Either way that's a parental fail.

This is about preparing your child in advance.  Teach your child what to do to advocate for themselves in your absence. Give them life skills.  Kindergarten and first grade is not too young.  There is an "emergency" out for this very reason.  Teach them not to wait until the last minute (this you can practice endlessly at home) and teach them to tell the teacher they are about to have an accident.  [/quote]

You missed the part where the elementary aged child peed her pants after having an authority figure tell her no twice.[/quote]

But I didnt.  There's an emergency out.  Kid didn't use it.  Parent fail. Teach your kids to stand up for themselves! [/quote]

Oh, my daughters teacher showed up to defend herself! No, she was never told to declare it was an emergency until we spoke on the phone.

And my daughter has been prepped in advance. She knows to listen to her body and that sometimes means not needing to go when her 15 girl classmates are going and other times needing to go earlier or later than the two bathroom breaks. The breaks both happen to be with 90 minutes of each other, so not spread out through the day. And it's FCPS, do the school day is almost 7 hours. Last year, there was no scheduled break and somehow, the kids were allowed to go when they needed to and it wasn't a problem. But not with a controlling teacher! Only when bossy teacher says it's ok, can anyone relieve themselves.

Somehow my daughter made it through day care and 4 years of elementary school without any accidents, but this year she's had two! I let it go the first time and told my daughter to excuse herself to the restroom if the teacher said no, and that she wouldn't be in trouble at home, but she is too afraid of her teacher to do that. The teacher is a yeller too, so it's been a fun year. [/quote]
