I have on in middle school and one in high school. One goes in the morning the other right after school. The morning goer eats a better diet, gets up earlier and HATES the bathrooms at school.

I don’t know when mine go, but I do know if I see them walking to the bathroom with their phone in hand, it’s going to be a while.
I now have a “no phones in the bathroom before school” rule so that everyone moves at a normal pace instead of a checking phone pace.
+1 DH will be in the bathroom for half an hour if he has his phone with him. Sometimes I shut off the modem briefly but leave the wireless router on so his internet connection won’t work. Magically he’s done pooping within a minute or two and is out checking the modem and router ASAP.
Ugh. The second I announce dinner is ready and the rest of us sit down, DH disappears to shit for 15 minutes. Annoying AF. We've had discussions about it, but he says he just doesn't know. I tell him to go at work so he's paid to shit.

Good grief. That is one question I will never ask! ( unless there was a problem and then they would tell me) YIKES!

As a mom of elementary school age kids, I was really hoping and am happy to hear that the answers to the question would be "I don't know".

I stopped keeping track when he traded his Pull-ups for big boy underwear. I do know that he tries to avoid going at school because he's mentioned it once or twice.

My 16 year old shits the second he gets home from school. I know this because he tells me so. He says the bathrooms at school are disgusting and he refuses to use them. Also, he stinks up the bathroom.

Feed him more fiber, make sure he's drinking a lot of water.
Give him really bulky food for a late night snack (popcorn, shredded wheat cereal, oatmeal) and hot chocolate (or even coffee!) at breakfast, give him enough time in the morning. Like, up for breakfast at 6 am, eat it all, drink something hot, THEN take a shower quickly and hopefully by 6:30 ready for his morning dump.
Get him a squatty potty.
