[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I'm really sorry that happened. She should know to say that it's an emergency if it is, though, especially if the schools policy is twice a day. I am a middle school teacher so it's a bit different, and sometimes students claim "emergency" when it's not. A teacher may say not right now and not know it's an emergency. I agree with the walking out if it's a true emergency.

I will never forget when I was in second grade and a classmate was denied going to the bathroom. She was wearing a dress and stockings, made a big triangle by spreading her legs and just peed all over the floor. [/quote]

Im.a teacher,too, and I'm sorry it got to that, however the kids leave in droves by asking to go out, but it's to use their cell phone. It's hard to make a judgement call.[/quote]

In 2nd grade?[/quote]

Yes, they leave in droves in every grade. But no cell phone usage in elementary. At our school students have to sign in and out in addition to recording time in and time out. There's a digital clock by the notepad. Students were spending their time in the bathroom clogging up the toilets with paper towels, climbing on the sinks and toilets and throwing wet paper towels onto the ceiling until they stick. If it is an emergency then no one will tell them they can't go, but it definitely starts a chain reaction, and students have multiple opportunities to use the bathroom during the course of the day.
