[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ and I also have a daughter who has her period. She asks a teacher to use the bathroom during class when needed.[/quote]

She misses class time and potentially important information. She is at a disadvantage to the boys who don't need to leave the classroom to use the bathroom on a regular basis. [/quote]

This is bizarre to me. Every girl in middle school/high school has their period.  How is this some big problem? You do realize boys also have to go to the bathroom too right?[/quote]

Boys do not need to go to the bathroom several times during the day for 3-5 days during each month. What is hard to understand about that? [/quote]

DP.  I don't get how this is a huge (or new) problem.  Girls have periods.  They/we deal with them.  [/quote]

The new problem is actually the lack of time to go to the bathroom.

Until a few years ago, kids in schools had recess/breaks. Then there was this big push to spend more time on academics and less time on frivolous things like going to the bathroom and socializing. Science has now shown that focusing solely on academics is actually counterproductive, puts girls at a disadvantage and is not good for anyone's mental health. [/quote]

This is a thread about adding/keeping additional break time in middle school.  Are you posting on the wrong thread?[/quote]
