Denied toilet break

"A girl asked if she could nip to the loo as she came in from lunch, I explained that she should have gone at lunch and the answer was no. She did ask again later on and said she was really desperate,but i stuck to my guns and said no, she hung on until the end of the day"

You said in an earlier post that if they tell you they're desperate you let them go. Now you say you didn't let her go.

Apology accepted I am a women.

riverwalk,

No of course they didn't synchronize their toilet breaks, they were just messing about, I doubt the boy I let out even needed the toilet.

Synchronise.

Usually UK.

Under normal circumstances I would have. However taking into account what happened with the boy I decided against it. It was only 25 minutes until the end of the day when the girl made the second request

Only 25 minutes...for a Year 5 child?

My classes didn't seem to see the situation as a challenge!
As I sent them out at break-time I reminded them to go. As they lined up to return to class I suggested that anyone who needed to go should do so on the way to class. By the time the others had hung up coats and settled the 'stragglers'had caught up and no more than a minute or two was wasted.

Well worth it to avoid creating unnecessary confrontation.

On the very rare occasion that someone did actually have to go I simply asked them to be as quick as possible.

And yes anya out staff saw teaching as a higher priority than patrolling corridors to catch escapees!

I do hope that you're not really a teacher, just a wind-up merchant getting a rise from a bunch of grannies.

The girl's request was her first - why should she be punished because a boy was running down the corridor?

Are not some 10 year-old girls menstruating?

Seems yours is an odd school in a few ways vic.
Don't remember being free to post on social media between 4 and 4.30!

Ana 25 minutes is not that long, also it came an hour and half after the initial request so figured she would be able to wait another 25 minutes, most 10 year old should manage a couple of hours without a wee

Are you some sort of sadist, vicwarren? So the poor girl had waited an hour and a half after asking to go to the toilet and asked again - but no! You decided to punish her further...

Of course it's a wind-up. Too many inconsistencies and lack of knowledge of school procedures,

Has to be a windup - no reasonable school would tolerate the idiosyncrasies of one teacher who's out to score points over pupils!

Still think it's a man/boy...

I used to teach year 2 and would not let them go to the toilet during class.

The children had an afternoon playtime though, and the longest they went without a toilet break was an hour an half. I certainly would not have made a child wait 2 hours

My daughter is a teacher, and its the schools policy that they are not to go to the toilet during lessons. She says she feels uneasy sometimes telling them they cannot go for a wee, but that they seem to be ok with it.

I Personally feel its wrong an had it been a member of my family I would have complained

I teach year 2 and never let them go to the toilet the lessons immediately after a break, but will let them go if they ask twice at any other time. Only one boy and girl allowed at a time
