    hi , i open this topic because i have read some problems about it

    *Who is the teacher to deny my son the right to go use the bathroom?
    boss can not deny employers to use bathroom
    prison officers can not deny inmates to use bathroom
    principal can not deny teachers to use bathroom *
    therefore teachers should not
    deny students to use bathroom.



    so i told him if you need to go for a wee ask your teacher, and if she tells you no JUST WALK OUT THE CLASS AND GO TO THE TOILET and tell them DADDY said you can go to the loo when you need to.


    i know some people will say , your child should wait until recess


    what happen if is an emergency e.g. stomach ache or urges to pee?? , bodily function DON`T KNOW ABOUT time specially in a emergencies cases like diarrhea



    You teacher , you can not deny my child the right to use the toilet if he has an emergency , what would happen if a student have an accident and wet pants or have a stomach ache in front of a whole class because the teacher denied a student to use bathroom ??
    it would be anecdotal for the teacher but for the pupil will be a traumatic and humbling experience for the rest of his/her life and many
    many classmates will talk about that during years and the pupil will be humiliated again (and sometimes in front of new people).




    why some teachers deny pupils the use of bathroom? students ask for the toilet to avoid some lesson

    they would take drugs in bathroom , they can suffered a heart attack along the way......

    TEACHER'S EXCUSES

    i think some teachers dont let students use the bathroom because want see them with his/her pants-wetted ...


    so I recommend to all parents , tell you child that you should wait until recess if you can hold , ok i'm agree , but if you child has an emergency , JUST WALK AND GO ,
    teacher is not nobody to deny your child to use the bathroom , message to all parents DON'T LET YOUR CHILD BE HUMILIATED BY A TEACHER. OK?!!
    OK.

    *

    i see here many teachers are proud of about that. You are lucky my kid isn't in your class , you would have a big problem with me;
    but anyway some day you could have a problem with a violent father .

    *

    Defend your child against bad teachers. it is a duty !!

    Bathroom is a right , not a privilege.*


    to avoid your child have an accident in class?? easy to solve:


    tell your child if you need to go for a wee ask your teacher, and if he/she tells you no JUST WALK OUT THE CLASS AND GO TO THE TOILET and tell them DADDY said you can go to the loo when you need to.



    BYE BYE , discipline? nothing to do with discipline

    I don't think it's his teacher that going to be the cause of any problems this child might have ... :rolleyes:

    No LC student is goint to say:

    "Can I go do a wee?, well my Daddy said I could, so there!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show

    lol wut

    Please tell me you're talking about your five year old son! A secondary school student (maybe in first year, but I think a 12 year old would have more sense) should have the common sense to go to the bathroom when they can, tell the teacher if they're sick, or hold their wee until they need to go. It's gonna affect your child alot more socially if he/she storms out proclaiming his/her daddy says he/she can go to the toilet.

    LOL

    I can just imagine someone doing something like that in my class,

    "My daddy said that If I really need a wee, I can go whenever I want" and then just waltz out of class.

    I think next week before my maths exam I will schedule myself a nice long bathroom break because going to the toilet whenever I want is a right.

    I seriously think this belongs for some primary school forum if one exists on boards? Anyways not even a 12 year old in 1st year would be dumb enough to try that(Although I guess there are a few absolute weirdos who would think that their dad has command over their school...)
    i think some teachers dont let students use the bathroom because want see them with his/her pants-wetted ...
    There are some sadistic teachers out there, I wholeheartedly agree, those sick sick b@stards....


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Crow92


    That was an altogether strange post.
    It sounds like you are talking about a small child....or really reclusive teen.

    In my school you can go before school, during the morning, lunch and after school. about 2 hours max between times designated to go, now you did post this in the leaving cert section, so im going to assume your talking bout a 16-18 year old, I dont know about other schools, but i;ve never heard of a teacher rejecting a childs ligitimate need to go toilet (not just a smoker)

    So either A: Your overreacting

    or B: Your "child" cant do anything for themselves


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭Johnny Giles


    In secondary schools you can usually use the toilet every 30/40 minutes between each period.

    Not a lot to ask.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,554 ✭✭✭zonEEE


    A leaving cert student would laugh at a teacher if they said they weren't aloud to go to the toilet. Well at least in my school last year thats the type of response a teacher would have gotten.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 79 ✭✭lauralee28


    I'm a teacher and in our school students are allowed to go to the toilet before class starts at 9, in between the 9 classes, little break and lunch. Thats 12 opportunities in the day to use the toilet! I think its sufficient unless there's a medical condition, in which case the teachers are informed and said child is permitted out.
    Other than that, its at the teachers discretion. If students were allowed out to the toilet during every class, you would have 30 students wanting out to the toilet in a 40 minute class, causing endless disruption to the lesson and on corridors.
    As a previous poster has said, from your attitude and the manner in which you advise your child to speak to a teacher, I think toilet breaks are the least of his/her problems:rolleyes:

    If a child needs to go to the toilet, who has the right to prevent them from doing so? It's a disgrace that teachers try to do this. The student may have an oppurtunity to go during the breaks between classes, but sometimes you just need to go during your class!

    However, it's inevitable that some students will try and go to the toilet just to get out of class so the teachers should recognise who's the chancer and who isn't.

    That's my point of view anyway!

    I think I can relate to OP. I went to a secondary school run by the Christian Brothers and all the traps were closed under lock and key. You could ask permission from the teacher (usually a lay person) to be excused if you wanted to have a pee. If you needed to do more than a pee, you had to go to the Brothers room and be escorted to the toilet by one of them, who held the key and twirled it en route like a jail warden.

    I'm not ashamed to admit that I had sometimes had to be excused for a pee and ended up having to do more in the urinal rather than have one of those lads 'help' me with what I had to do. I still have quirks/phobias about that subject because of what I have seen and experienced.

    Yes, some parents molly coddle kids but if we constantly give them lectures about what is 'private' and then deny them rights to defend their judgement, well then we are fecked.

    Jusrt to clear this up for the OP. Your child is given breaks in which to use the bathroom every 2 hours. The fact that teachers don't want ur child to go to the bathroom is for their own benifit, not missing class etc... Guys in my class go to the toilet like every class just to get time off, it's just pathetic...


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    In fairness the 3 minutes between classes is hardly sufficient time to get to the bathroom, answer nature's call and make it to your next class on time.

    This thread is weird, but anyways... in my school the official rule was "go to the bathroom during break/lunch. If you need to go during class, tough."

    However, I went to an all girls school. So all we had to do was clutch our stomachs and we got an instand 10 minute bathroom pass, 20 if the teacher was male ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 164 ✭✭Evan93


    This is odd to post in the LC forum.By the time a student is in 5th and 6th year they have the maturity to go to the bathroom when they know and if not is during class,the teacher will most likely not deny them unless they are known for going bathroom for the reason of dossing. However, I do not see where a teacher will deny them for satisfaction,all it does is disrupt the class and create hassle for them if an "accident" occurs or whatever.

    Even from vague memories of primary school i cant remember a time where I was denied access to the bathroom and was going to "explode" as you would put it?


    If you are talking about primary school, I really do not know of a bunch of 10 year olds going to the toilets "to shoot up" ? When did the teachers ever mention drug abuse? Your post is was somewhat amusing to read.


    Most students would walk out of the class anyway if the really had to go.

    Haha...I've used that one so many times...me and my two friends from my class only bothered with the male teachers, the colour their faces used to go...:D

    I know it's been said before but I think it's great the ay this has been posted in the leaving cert forum.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭Anita Blow


    i'm agree


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    have you tried posting this on the parenting forum since you have for parents in brackets.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,382 ✭✭✭✭rainbowtrout


    can't imagine why i haven't seen 'troll' posted here yet.


    on topic: teachers do let students out of class in my school to go to the toilet. We sign the students journals and they bring it with them. it also means because it's been signed they won't try it again in the following class if they are just trying to get out of class. A teacher can tell very quickly who is genuine and who isn't. The chancers in my class come in after a 40 minute lunch, open the bag, take out the books and look to go out to the toilet and if I allow them, they disappear for 15 minutes. So they don't get to go out. And they don't ask again. If it was genuine they would ask again a few minutes later. They never do.

    OP has a weird fetish for looking at stained kids clothing and smells.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 961 ✭✭✭TEMPLAR KNIGHT

    You have my utmost sympathy lad, but you have to realise thar schools these days are very different.

    Now ... What the hell is this doing in the Leaving Cert forum?

    And why did no-one report it?

    And (assuming the OP is in any way genuine) I am not surprised this child has difficulty with social interaction with teachers if this is the ambience in which he has been raised.
