Going to the toilet during lessons?

I don't let children go to the toilet during lesson time. One of the mums have complained has I made her boy wait all afternoon?

Would it bother you as a parent?

You made him wait all afternoon to go to the toilet? Yes that would bother me

How old was the child? I think it depends whether the child is old enough to appreciate that you're supposed to go at break and lunch if you need to go.

If it was a well behaved child who doesn't usually ask then I would have more of a problem with making them wait, as they are probably the ones who really need to go.

I only let them go if they have a medical note, he asked 5 minutes after lunch and had to hold on until hometime.

Sorry I don't agree with you at all, a child should be allowed to go to the toilet. I wouldn't like being told to wait a couple of hours so why should a child.

So you expect everybody's digestive system to work in time with lesson times? I hope you never have cystitis or Montezuma's revenge before being able to get a doctor's note because I expect you would not quickly nip out to the loos before home time yourself, right?

Actually yes I don't go to the toilet unless I can get cover to watch the children. They should not be guzzling so much water they can't last a couple of hours without a wee.
