Daughter told to wet herself

Oh b****r forgot all about 'onesies"

Now there's a thought trisher but, sadly, you don't get maximum marks because you omitted to include onesies.

Sorry.

Does anyone know if there is a question on a GCSE paper somewhere that requires you to start a thread on a social network site and then monitor the replies you get? And do they have a list of suggested subjects? Like "Uniform", "Plimsolls" or "Toilets".

Sorry its unheard of! Not saying that you are fibbing but really? the teacher would lose her job for saying such a thing! And I do not believe it happened anyway!

Similar topic under the topics AIBU entitles was the teacher wrong?

Waste of time, phoenix - it'll just run and run until it finally runs out of steam.

And then someone will revive it next year!

Strong feeling of

My sister was a primary school teacher as was my Mum, they used to get exasperated with "Please Miss " but never stopped a child from going to the toilet , I really don't believe the OP

This makes my blood boil.
My daughter now aged 22 was in Yr 2 and the exact same thing happened.
She was not so fortunate and did gave an accident.
I am not one for over reacting but boy dud I write a strongly worded letter saying their memory's were out-dated and humiliating.
They wrote and apologised and I insisted the apology went to my girl. She remembers it to this day.
It is not healthy for a child to hold their bladder that long.

Now that made me laugh Phoenix !!

Just a thought, darlinggd. Why would you take it upon yourself to speak to your grandchild's teacher? That's her mother or father's job surely?

Thank you Daddima! Still awake at 02.37 (!) I read your post and now just can't stop laughing out loud!!

Yes, a fair few threads on this topic recently, not sure if they are all from new members?

If children do wet themselves, I suppose it is easier to deal with if they are wearing plimsoles(sp)

Shysal. I didn't dare ask!

My son told me most emphatically in P.1 that if you were badly behaved you were sent to the head teacher, and she punched you in the face.

Further investigation revealed that his teacher had said they would be sent to the head teacher for " punchment", so yer man had simply elaborated.

Check the facts rather than go in guns blazing. Then discuss accordingly!

Perhaps it was her front bottom!

If the parents and grandparents of the children I taught heard what they told me, they would be mortified.
Gems ranging from.... "My grandma is a witch" to "My Nanna shaves her bottom!"
The aforementioned witch had gone to fancy dress party, by the way and was in no way involved in any satanic activities.
Not sure about the bottom shaving though.....?

What on earth do teachers expect ? In lots of schools hildren are either allowed a water bottle on their desk or they have a jug i the classroom, if you dont expect children to go 2 hours without a drink then you have to understand the children will need to use the loo more often.

Fair point Ana?My DGS told his teacher that we never feed him! Appearances suggesting the contrary?

Only believe half of what children tell you about school, as most teachers only believe half of what they tell us about home!!

Another in the Victor Meldrew camp here "I don't believe it"

Definitely check with teacher

I would check with the teacher-it sounds highly unlikely to me.

Indeed Ana.

I don't believe that a teacher told a 6 year old to wet herself.

Too many threads started about the urinary habits of young girls.

Very harsh teacher in my view. I can't imagine any of the teachers in the school I work in being that mean. Often a child will be asked if they can wait till playtime or home time but not for over 2 hrs.
I would check with the teacher what the rules are about leaving the classroom to use the toilet.
