[quote=Anonymous]PP, how dare you compare your restriction to use the bathroom to a CHILDS bathroom restriction. You are an adult.

I'm a teacher and am appalled at your reasoning. I know my students and love them and I'm aware that even some in my room cannot say when something is an emergency. Even in my classroom, I know some students just won't say that. That's a big thing for a kid to say in front of the classroom and to a teacher. What's an emergency to a kid? A fire? Having to go pee might not be an emergency. Or is it?

Just as teachers make a million decisions a day, as does a child. It doesn't sound like the fire alarm was about to go off or that recess was over. It sounds like a crappy policy to have and a crappy teacher who would enforce that rule. Like PP said, a good teacher would stand up for her children's RIGHT to use the bathroom.

I'd be heartbroken if my students were too scared to ask to use the bathroom and peed themselves instead. I'd feel like a failure to not have their trust. These are CHILDREN.[/quote]
