[quote=Anonymous][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]

Requiring a kid to use a special word to be allowed to use them bathroom when they have asked twice is a dick move. Complete and total teacher fail. [/quote] 
Totally agree.  Which is why if you don't prepare your kid to deal with it then it' crosses over to a parent fail.  There are aholes in all walks of life. Even elementary school.  Our job as parents is to give them the confidence to stand up to adults in certain situations and this is clearly one.    Op said this happened once already.  That's the point where to put it more "sensitively", the opportunity was missed. that was the teachable moment.  Because there are loser jerk teachers and bosses all throughout life. Mommy can't always defend you or get you a new nice teacher.  You gotta deal.  You need skills. You need a plan. That's the parents job and why no, it isn't a complete and total teacher fail.
