[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]

No. It's not the schools policy to have two bathroom breaks a day, and even if it was, that's bs. A good teacher would stand up for the students right to use the toilet when they need to. What's so important that kids should have to "hold it in" until class bathroom break? Nothing is. How about you only get two bathroom breaks a day? Wouldn't like that, would you?[/quote]

Teacher PP here. As a teacher, my ability to use the bathroom is restricted as well! I did not mean to imply that what happened is okay- just that children, especially young children, should be aware it is okay to share that it's an emergency. Maybe the teacher has multiple students asking to go at once; maybe she knows there's a fire drill in 7 minutes, teachers make a million split second decisions a day and are human and therefore imperfect. I am simply stating In a school, it is not always possible for EVERY child to use the bathroom at the EXACT moment they want to- that's why if it's an emergency, that must be shared. [/quote]
