When parents send their kids off to school, they trust that the teachers and staff have their children’s best interest in mind and provide a safe nurturing environment for their kids, which is why one mom was furious after her daughter came home from school in tears after a teacher forbid her from going to the bathroom.
On average, school-aged kids need to use the bathroom anywhere from four to ten times a day, but the school is convinced that anything more than five times over nine weeks is abusing bathroom priveledges. In order to keep kids going in and out of class to use the bathroom, the school decided to adopt an extremely strict and unhealthy policy where kids get detention after using the bathroom more than five times in over two months.
So when one 12-year-old asked the teacher to go to the bathroom, the teacher refused because she had already used up her five passes. She was then forced to sit in class and bleed through her pants since she had gotten her period for the first time.
“She said she asked the teacher but the teacher told her no unless she wanted to explain why she needed to go,” the girl’s furious mom wrote on Reddit under the username p_i_see_you. ” A 12-year-old girl shouldn’t have to stand up in front of her class and tell everyone she’s on her period. She was pretty upset and apologized, I’m more upset the school would allow this. ”
“There is nothing in the school policy about this five-time bathroom limit, the kids only have 3 minutes in between classes, she’s not allowed to go during lunch, and if she gets too many detentions she’s off her softball team! When did schools agree that going to the bathroom is a privilege and not a right?!”
