No, she wasn't unconscious for more than a moment. The teacher sent her to the nurse. I don't think people were afraid exactly. I don't understand why the parents think this stuff is OK. They seem to accept it and just shrug it off. I did speak with the parent. She took her to the doctor or clinic or something later that day, but the kid was OK. The parent just didn't seem all that concerned. I don't get it. The parents are not afraid - they just seem to think it's not their place to say anything. The vibe in this school is just weird. Parents never complain about anything.[b] One of my friends' kids has peed or pooped in his pants about once a week for most of the school year because the teacher won't let him use the bathroom without asking and he is too embarrassed to ask. [/b]My friend, who is otherwise a normal person, gets angry at her son for not just getting up and going to the bathroom, but won't even speak to the teacher about it. And she is not afraid of the teacher, either. I keep asking why she doesn't speak to the school, but she just doesn't seem to think that's the solution. The parent complacency makes me want to scream. But I can't be the squeaky wheel - that's already caused my child and me a lot of problems. [/quote]

I call troll.
First, no water.
Then, call 911!
Next, field trip without water.
Now, teacher won't let kid go to the bathroom.

Believe me, no teacher wants a kid peeing and pooping in his pants.  That brings on a whole new set of problems.

FWIW, I taught school.  One year I had a child who continually pooped in his pants.  Very unpleasant.  He had permission to go anytime.  Turns out he had a serious physical problem and ended up being schooled at home by the school system.  Sad, sad case.  Think about it, no one could stand to be around him.

Years later, I taught a child who continually wet his pants.  He, too, had permission to go anytime.  Guess what?  He still peed in his pants.  I think it was a problem at home, too. I think the doctors felt it was not a physical problem.

My point, the child may have another problem besides not being allowed to go to the restroom.
