That's Child abuse plain and simple. Expecting a child to be capable of holding their bowels/bladder for the same span as an adult is stupid as hell, not to mention the host of medical issues it can cause as a mere product.
That's human abuse: food, water, air and toilet are basic need that should never be withould for any reasons.and should never be denied for punishment..if in a school any of this becomes a disciplinary tool that school need to be reported immediately.
Plus the fact that some have medical issues. I have IC and endometriosis. I filled my entire page of sign outs for the bathroom within the first month of school in 7th grade. IC comes with urgency very often, as well as pain, bad enough that I’d literally throw up just from a mildly full bladder. Imagine a bladder infection/kidney infection or a really severe untreated UTI and that is what I feel almost daily. My mom got a school shut down when I was in kindergarten cause I got punished for having to use the bathroom. She never didn’t tell that story when I started at a new school and she informed them that she would pursue it to the fullest extent of the law if that ever happens again because of my medical history. Nobody ever dared to deny bathrooms. I got lectured by it by a teacher in that 7th grade, ONCE. My parents showed up that next day. I never was spoken in any negative way ever again or questioned by that teacher. Yeah these kind of stories really piss me off. Plus I started periods at the age of 8, so the end of 3rd grade. And I have endometriosis, which also caused extremely heavy periods and every 1-2 hours I’d have to go to the bathroom and change or I’d leak through everything. I hid it from age 8-12 from everyone I could. So that also needs to be considered when discussing females. In that kindergarten class the way that teacher treated me really traumatized me cause she would make me a visual ‘lesson’ to the entire class. From age 6-7 I started refusing to drink any water during the day anymore because of fear that I’d have to go to the bathroom. I got a lot of severe dehydration scares, had to be hospitalized for an IV of fluids at one point, and caused 2 kidney infections in a 4 month period. Mind you I lived in Arizona at the time and it was hot during these days, it was dangerous for me to be going from 7am-3 or 4pm with zero fluids. So yeah. These teachers have a special place in hell if you ask me. 😂
Why does that even exist? Going to the bathroom is a basic need. Why do teachers treat kids from 8-18 or more like they can’t even put on their clothes by themselves?!
they do it for the exact same reason they hold kids after the bell rings and they are no longer teaching but still want to exert power & control over their students. It used to make me so angry that at the end of the day the teacher would play games letting students to slowly and not releasing us. I do not have a lot of respect for educators, exposure to petty tyrannical big fish in small ponds causes such an attitude Also homework, I do not miss school at all.
Because if they did let anyone go then students would take advantage of it, plus the reason teachers dont let students go is mainly students fault. Vapers going to the bathroom
@@rattelv426they used past experience(people abusing this rule to hang out in bathrooms, happens a lot nowadays) and decided on the rule, which is why teachers give you limited passes and why they tell you to go before/after class, so you aren’t really able to do it
Sadly kids abuse the right. But I still think that some bathroom rules are just stupid since kids find ways around a lot of rules anyways. When I was under 10 I wanted to do a bathroom meetup with my then bestie, and the teacher said no since they knew we were close. I asked another teacher who didn’t know about it. Regretted it afterwards and we weren’t there long but yeah… kids rly do abuse it and if ruins it for others. For younger kids it’s usually to mess around, for older kids it’s to gossip or… stuff you aren’t supposed to do. Really sucks, especially considering that I rarely and I mean rarely use school bathrooms. I only ever used my gym one a few times towards the end cuz I found out it was clean, and then the general one once throughout my entire stay at that school. Didn’t even know where the girl bathrooms were…
Same thing at my school I have gastrointestinal issues so after a teacher told me I couldn't use the bathroom I told my mom she had a meeting with the principal and I got a pass to use the bathroom anytime I needed to
When I was in 8th grade and suffering from PCOS/ extremely heavy- painful period, we had this same planner thing. I'd get most teachers to sign my planner, but there were several teachers and subs that refused and said I should have gone between classes- even though the last teacher kept me late to discuss upcoming homework. Anyway, having an emergency and needing the restroom for obvious things, I quietly asked the teacher to go and she just stared me down like I was muck on her shoe. She refused and told me to sit down or she'd fail me. So I did... Sat there and ended up with a large puddle of you know what under me, on the wooden chair and when I stood up, all the way down my legs. I just stood there while the boys ran from the room and the girls all yelled at the teacher, horrified... The teacher was reprimanded by my father and the principal and from then on, if I needed the restroom, I just quietly slipped out of the room, quickly did what I needed and then slipped back into the classroom. Some rules are so stupid, and I'm a certified teacher now, lol!
I had a teacher who denied me from running to the bathroom i had real issues when i was little. From the crazy household i grew up in. Certain things can trigger a child. This is something that should never be denied. Basic human needs.
My social studies teacher says “it is your unalienable right to use the bathroom, including fairness rights, not to be judged on ethnicity, all adults having the right to vote, etc.”
Wanna hear a story so in like kindergarten my teacher wouldn't let me go to the bathroom so i had to hold it and everytime i had to go to the bathroom i had to hold and i got a uti and and i told my mom and she asked the teacher and the teacher said " i let her use the bath room whenever she wants" then it became a habit of holding my pee and i now have 6 or 7 UTIs if i get one more i have to get a new kidney or something
It pisses me off so much especially if I’m on my period if teachers don’t let you go to the bathroom like I’ve gotta change my tampon and don’t wanna get toxic shock syndrome which is LIFE THREATENING
First of all, that's lawsuit against school. Very good and pricy lawsuit. Well, depending on the country I guess, but in most countries school will be liable. Second. Can parents finally teach their gods damned kids basic knowledge about their rights? Teacher has no control over kid's movement and any kid can just leave the class and go to the bathroom or wherever else. That's the first thing I taught my kids when they went to school - that if you have a reason, you just ignore teacher and do what you must, they have no say and no control over your freedom of movement, they have no right to take possession of your property, no right to go through your phone.
@@cheekycharlie24 what do you mean locked toilets? If school does not have publicly accessible toilets they will be fined. If as a result of this child ended up in a problem, they will be facing lawsuit and possibly be closed until toilet issue gets resolved (depending on the country)
@@H0ttabych our toilets have been locked, we rarely see them open and if you want to go you have to go to the office and it’s a max of 10 people a day there.
Reminds me of the time I had a doctors note and all the teachers were notified to let me use the bathroom if I had to go because I have weak muscles in my bladder that can’t be strengthened. This one teacher was notorious for being a bitch. I asked to use the bathroom and she said no, but I just got up and walked out anyway. She tried getting me in trouble but I reminded her I had Principal approval to walk out if I needed to go. Never had an issue again. Why do some teachers feel the need to abuse the position of power they hold over kids?
The “You should’ve gone between classes” was always the most bs thing I ever heard. Especially when my schools only gave us 4 minutes to get between classes.
Me: “Why do you think that if a student is still in school, they can dictate their bladder and decide they don’t need to go right now? School system: “bEcAuSe ReAsOnS”
Bathroom-passes ? Would be removed within a week nowadays when one parent finds out and starts talking shit about this. And that would he deserved if you ask me since going to the bathroom is something you have since birth, it's a human right
My school tried this back in the 7th grade. 2nd week in, a kid Threatend to drop his pants and pee into a trash can. He was sent to the office instantly and his parents were called. His parents showed up with a lawyer and threatened to sue for any and everything... The whole pass system was abandonded by the 3rd week of school that year.
This is absolutely stupid. At my school, we aren't allowed to go, period, which I think is awful, especially for girls, like do they know how the human body works?
Ha... i have a good one, usually my teachers were really good about not doing a power trip over our human rights in class, if you were hungry you would eat, if you needed to use the toilet you will do, but one teacher refused to let my friend go to the toilet when she was on her period , so after he refused to let her go anywhere on a 4 hour class so at the hour 3 she took her pad out in class and throw it in his face, he throw up and run out of the class, our principal took his place and asked us what the f@ck but in a very polite way, my friend was at the toilet at that point, we explained to her and she had a moment before asking us if he didn’t let us go on the mandatory breaks every 90 minutes, he didn’t, it's like 15 minutes break, it was the second week of September, so beginning of the year, he didn’t let us go in the last time as well, you could see in her eyes that she could already feel like she is getting sued, that teacher got fired that same day, and got his teaching license provoked and he got blacklisted from working with weaker populations like children and elderly, i don't know what he does now, my friend is doing well, is in the airforce, wasn't even punished over using bio weapon on a teacher, it was deemed as justified by the administration and we had a huge gathering in my school to make sure everyone are aware that our breaks are mandatory. Not a price. Also keeping a child away from the bathrooms is child abuse that can damage their bladder for a lifetime
I have loads of teachers at my school that deny EVERYONE to use the toilet (even girls on their cycle) There's one new teacher officially a teacher in September and the 3 lessons I had with him a ton of girls were on their cycle (2 week time period) And they explore to him very simple that they were on their period. For all those girls he denied them all to go to the bathroom and started yelling that periods are fake or in his words "THEY'RE A HOAX TO GO TOILET" And forced them to sit in a dry blood soaked pad or tampon with possible blood dripping down their leg Once I had my period in his lesson and said that I really needed to go to the bathroom and I was on my period again he said they were fake and forced me to sit down and told all us girls (Especially me since I asked 3 times in his lesson) "You all know periods are fake and if they are real you can hold it in like all the boys" I was still stood at his desk getting angrier as he praised the boys for not having "Fake periods" and as soon as he finished yelling at me again I turned back to him and told him "Alright sir I know you definitely don't have periods for obvious reasons but us girls physically can't hold it in" he again said I was lying and I quickly responded "Sir if you accidentally got a cut on your finger or arm or something would you be able to hold the blood in for a while?" he replied obviously not and I said "Well then that's what periods are it's literal BLOOD pouring out our bodies and clearly you failed school because that's basic knowledge" I then grabbed my bag and jacket and walked out I ended up getting searched for in the school but I was hiding in the bathroom and on the phone with my mother asking her to pick me up and that I'd be waiting outside for her or I'll walk home (My house is about 30-40 minutes away on foot) My mum obviously refused so I went outside of the school at 10 am and jumped the fence into the playground behind school I sat on the swing for a bit (apparently an hour because I heard the bell for break and hundreds of footsteps) before anyone could see me I left the park and walked across town I decided to go around the town and too the beach before walked along the prom to my house whilst on the phone with my mum safe to say he never denied a girl and I got a VERY long telling off and a meeting with my mum and the school Massive tangent if ur here 🍪here's a cookie
Huge W for you. I hate these kind of males who say "PeRiOd Is FaKe!1!!" but you handled it really well. I hope you didn't get any negative effect from what you endured tho, i wish you the best. You've done a very good job :3
I will never understand men who think periods are fake When they see pads and tampons what do they think they are sold for? Period panties? Diva cups? What do they think are the use? Companies selling them to women just for a fake thing? What would be the point when it's worn inside clothes and you could lie and say you had one? Why would commercials try to promote how obsorbent theirs were if periods arnt real? There's no logic to it idc if boys arnt taught about them, there's no logic in believing they don't exist
I remember as I got older our teachers just had us stop asking. Just leave quietly and come back, asking is annoying. But before that, always asking. Teachers never denied us though if it was really serious. Maybe deny once, try to convince to go during break, be a bit annoyed that kids didnt use breaktime instead, but if asked again definitely allowed it. And of course the traditional "can i go to the bathroom?" "I dont know, can you?" 😂
We had the same thing and if you over used all your passes and asked to go to the bathroom and you didn’t have any passes you would have to talk with your parents and the principal about “why you have to go to the bathroom so much” when a semester where I love is like 4 months and we only have 13 passes, 2 of my teachers would let you go because they thought it was unethical to do that
Had the same problem in middle and high school. Both schools you had 5 minutes in between classes. It may not be a bad thing except for the fact that some classes were across the campus. We have mostly outdoor campuses. Middle was a bit different since most classes were near each other but i did have two classes that were father apart from the others. They were in a building near the back towards the open field. High school is different with classes being all over the place. Again had 5 minutes to get to class. My favorite phrase from teachers was, "I can walk from one side of campus to the other and have time to say hi to another teacher and STILL get to class on time. You have no excuse!" Which i call bs. Since ive seen teachers rush to get to class. 😂
As a teacher, I have never denied a student from going at all. But sometimes principals force a policy for how many students can be out of a room at once because of behavior issues in the halls or bathrooms, and then I have to ask students if they are able to wait to take turns. I still write extras passes for emergencies though.
That teacher should lose their credentials and whoever instituted that policy should be behind bars. A teacher in my junior high school refused to let a girl go to the bathroom. She ended up peeing herself. The teacher was fired, their teaching credentials were revoked, and the following week they were beaten bloody in a bar by the girls uncles.
Fun fact: holding in your pee can actually cause irriverible damage. There have been studies that show that people who hold their bowels/bladder for long(er) periods of time have a large chance of getting infections, later down the line it can also cause inabilty to control your bowels/bladder, and sometimes it can even cause cancer. So yea, of a teacher doesnt let you use the bathroom, listen to your body. If youre using all your strength to hold it in, JUST GO. Yes you will definitely get in trouble with at least the teacher, but at least you didnt get cancer
My school had bathroom passes. The teachers didn't even care, you could only use it once, but some teachers let you use a used one, and they didnt stop you even if you had to go.
My friend had an illness that required him to go to the toilet as soon as he needed to. He couldn’t ask, or it might be too late. He was in hospital almost half the year when all his absents added up. One day we had a sub who blocked his path out of the door. She asked him where did he think he was going, and he said to the bathroom. We were all practically screaming at her, telling her he could be allowed. She didn’t listen and because of that, he went to hospital that day.
My daughter was on dialysis when she was little so when she was in the first grade I had lunch with her and she asked to use the restroom the teacher said NO. She looked at me. Mommy I need to go. I just smile go then. She gets up and the teacher comes over I didn’t give you permission to leave. I shoo my daughter on and look at teacher I said she can go now if you want her to go here will it will be you cleaning it up not her because she did ask nicely. Mind you there was about 200 bodies in the lunch room. My daughter told me after that she never had any problems and the teacher was informed about my daughter dialyses .
I don't understand it honestly, if theyre worried about kids doing bad shit while they're out of the classroom then they should have better security. If you have to go, you have to go. denying children of a basic need because they can't be bothered with keeping up with them.
(Bearing in mind I’m from UK when I mention the types of schools) In my primary school, the teachers had a rule that you couldn’t go to the toilet if someone else left the classroom for any reason, even if the other student hadn’t gone to the toilet themselves (e.g. to get a water bottle refilled) so only one student was allowed out at any one time. It didn’t work too well because some of the people who left the classroom just wandered around instead of what they’d asked to do, so whoever needed to go to the toilet just had to stand and wait at the door as they tried not to pee themselves waiting for the other student to come back. At my high school, some of the teachers were lenient about leaving to go to the toilet and would just let you go so long as you were polite about asking. Others absolutely _refused_ to let you go to the toilet during lessons unless you had a medical condition they were aware of that might affect bowel/bladder control. The main response of most teachers was “you should have gone at break/lunch, that’s what it’s there for.” Problem with that was that there weren’t many toilets throughout the school and the break/lunch staff were told to only let six students into each of the toilets at a time because that’s how many toilet stalls there were in the bathrooms - only they didn’t usually check who was in there and a lot of people used them as a hangout area if they didn’t want to go outside, so you couldn’t even go to the toilet during break/lunch because they wouldn’t let you in. I had a few classmates who literally peed themselves when they were _15-16_ because they weren’t allowed to go to the toilet, and one friend who nearly _always_ had a bladder infection for the entirety of the time we were at school for because the teachers would make her just hold it.
Our school only does it bc (we get two a day and hall passes in the back of the book) the boys draw on the stalls/walls, shove paper towels in the toilets/urinals and so now their paper towels sit outside of the bathroom. Thanks, boys. But I think it's fair. If it's an emergency and the passes are full, we just have to take the book with us.
my school does the same thing, you get 5 minutes on passing time and classes can be across the school, i really hate the rule so i js dont drink water anymore so i dont need to pee
Teachers like that need to be educated on what happens when people have to go pee but are not allowed to. What happens when you hold it for too long. It's painful!! The urine can back up into your kidneys and cause damage! It can also cause UTIs, bladder infection and kidney issues. It's even worse in children because their bladders are not fully developed yet.
My middle school did this but thankfully most teachers hated that rule with all their guts. My 1-3 and 7th period teachers so my 4-6 period teachers didn’t do it
At my school, we can’t take BLAZERS off at all without permission or ties. We can only go to the bathroom once a day unless we have special permission and they took every single mirror out of bathrooms because apparently it’s scary for younger kids to see the older kids standing near a mirror
That’s what they did at my junior high school too, we only got 2 bathroom passes per class per semester. It was honestly horrible, especially because junior high is when girls start getting things like their periods.
dude, our planner passes also went for charging cords, going to the nurse and library, the office, basically anything you had to do for yourself that took you outside the classroom. you could also have passes removed as punishment, and you only got two for the whole day
My mum did this in kindergarten, they were then allowed to leave to the bathroom whenever they wanted, they just had to inform the teacher because they were still kindergartners:) 😂 she made sure i knew i am aloud to leave the classroom anytime if i have to or want to, and i homeschool myself now so i really can go whenever i want🎉😂
In hs I asked to go to the restroom durring english my teacher said no to hold off till break. We were in the middle of a 2hr block. I stood up and made my way to the door she ran to block the door and told me to sit down. I asked her if she thought she could physically stop me from peeing because I know I couldnt hold it, so I either go pee in the restroom or im pissing in the trashcan infront of everyone and she can explain why the kid that is never in trouble and literally won awards for the hs was humiliated in front of his peers. She gave me a quizzacal look and then she stepped past me to get back to the front of the room. She apparently talked to the vic principal about how best to punish me in a teacher meeting the next morning and got laught at for being pee patrol. She relaxed alot of her more totalitarian rules.
I've have multiple teacher (high school and college) who made it clear at the beginning of the semester that if you need to use the bathroom, that you can just get up and go as long as you do it quietly. Best teachers ever
@@jessicathompson236 and you can sue the school for breaking human rights. this is child abuse i bet the school would love to hear this being all over the news especially when its actually extremely unhealthy to force children to hold in excrement
In my school, we’re only allowed two bathroom breaks a day and you have 5 minutes each time. Theres been times where people threw up, had period emergencies, bowel problems, ect. It was crazy and tons of parents were mad as shit but the rule was never removed :(
I have this same rule at my school except it’s 10 hall passes per semester (which have to use to go to your locker,bathrooms, nurse, etc) not even lying I was having a serious allergic reaction but I ran out of passes so I had to stay in the class until it ended (we have 2 minutes for passing period for some reason⁉️⁉️)
"You should have gone in-between classes." Idk about other schools but my schools a private one, and if your class isn't right next to the bathroom, by the time you get there, there's already a line of people needing to use the bathroom. So even if you did manage that, you'll still be late... Been late to many times? After-school detention.
I had a teacher once try and deny me going to the bathroom when I was really sick and about to puke. She said no, but I couldn't just sit there and ended up puking all over the textbook and desk. She let me go after that. Meanwhile, my mother in high school, in all her teenage glory, asked a male teacher to use the restroom. He told her no, which she replied, very loudly, that she was going to sit there and bleed all over if he didn't (she had just started her period). The teacher was horrified and let her go. Hence why I told my kids that if they ever needed to go, just go, and I'd deal with the fallout.
If a teacher wasn’t letting my go to the bathroom, i would just say “that is child abuse” go to the bathroom, tell the principal, then walk home/to a friends house
This sounds a lot like my school. For every 7 weeks we get 7 passes but we changed from planners to E passes this year so we have to get out our computer and it times us. Forgive certain people because they didn’t have time to use the bathroom and get all the way across the school in 3 minutes!!!!
This happens in my lessons but I have never been denied. I don’t like going in school because of what the boys have done (aka drvgs) and I’m never sure if they sneak in the girls because I was told that a bunch of boys did before. If you want to go to the toilet, you have to have a pass or it has to be 10 minutes after the lesson. When there is 10 minutes left you can’t either. Our toilets have been locked and the staff forget to open them for passing periods, break and lunch all the time. We can rarely use the toilets and then they moan at us for not going. Their toilets aren’t locked tho are they? The only time I asked to go to the bathroom was when I realised my skirt was inside out and my math teacher knew very well that I wouldn’t just mess around so I literally had to sprint to the toilets before they locked it. Schools are horrible to us about going to the toilet.
My parents always told my siblings and I that if a teacher ever said no to us going to the bathroom to just walk out and go we won’t get in trouble and to just walk out
my school has the same exact thing and you only get 20 passes per semester and if you go to the nurse bc you are hurt really bad or go to the library it uses one of your passes
i remember pooping myself and having multiple uti’s throughout kindergarten because the teacher wouldn’t let me go to the bathroom. i kept peeing my pants constantly and it turns out i developed a bladder issue where i couldn’t feel when i had to go. it’s safe to say i was allowed to use the bathroom every single time after that
The reason was because they dont want kids skipping out on class because theyd rather spend the entire class their its a vague memory from school i have but its still not warrented just let the kid go to the bathroom. Some of my teacher even made a penalty system. It was a three strike system in which if you need the bathroom more then three times they would autofail your next major test. It was beyond messed up.
First thing I thought of was what about people who menstruate? You can’t control that, you can’t plan it. Alongside that what about people with medical conditions that might require them to go to the restroom more than the average person?
My teacher legit says that we should have gone to the bathroom at lunchtime like she literally acts like we obviously needed to use the bathroom then even though we’re human, she treats us like robots that can control natural human behaviour
My school started off with passes that stick to the door using a Velcro but kids were f’ing around so they did this, but in fear of this happening they will let us if it an emergency and if we’re out
My school literally just started using this rule this year. They changed passing periods to 5 minutes because we cant fill up our water bottles in class anymore. We have like 10 passes per semester and on the second day of school, i was so scared of using a pass too soon into school that I bled through my pants. Its a terrible rule.
Bro, at my school we used to have five min to get from one class to another and keep in mind. We have 8 buildings. I guess that would be enough time to get to ur next class right? Well, a year later, they changed the time to four min because of fights that would happen in between periods. And no one was able to go to the bathroom then, you learn how much a minute can really help you out when you don’t want to be late to a class. And then a year later, they changed it to three minutes because kids would gang up in the bathrooms and vape!! (And they really dgaf if they got in trouble, so like what was the freaking point) now we only have three minutes to get from one class to another and most kids schedules go from building one to building eight, which makes them have to walk around the whole damn school in three minutes!🤦♀️ into top it all off most teachers still expect you to have been able to go to the bathroom and that amount of time. A few of my teachers only let kids go to the bathroom two times per semester!!!
They made us use a website that tracked the time it took and if you were too close to the 5 minutes you got, you got in trouble. The bad part was the boys bathroom was like 15 second away but the girls could only use the bathroom 2 minutes away, we couldn’t use the one that was one floor down and 30 seconds away. That meant. that the girl only had about a minute to use the bathroom. We also had 1 a day.
Also, depending on where you are, it can be illegal to not let a child go to the restroom because you can form a urinary track infection from holding it in for too long
Yall lucky yall even get bathroom passes for each semester- i had to hold it in for 2 hours straight cuz i had to go so bad but you can only go at break or lunch, school policy cuz im in ✨uk✨
this is kinda like my school but we have completely electronic passes (using our ipads) anyhow you only get two a day and all of the teachers can see how many you’ve used, how long you were in there, they can deny them, and each teacher gets to see who all is in the hall so if they feel like you’re going out there just to talk or something they won’t let you go. and if you go to another teacher the next teacher has to approve that you got there. if you’re somewhere past five minutes you get flagged and some teachers won’t let you go after that. our passes are about to be five a month which people know is not enough for a middle schooler especially a girl because in middle school most girls get their menstrual cycle and need to change their pad/tampon. and our passes are getting out of hand so most people will get less than others. thoughts on this?
What the hell? Peeing is a need, holding it in for extended periods over and over can cause bladder problems and kidney problems. It's a lawsuit, and they need new faculty staff. Absolute gross misconduct.
My school has “smart pass” and it’s annoying as hell bc they can choose, when, where, and how many passes you got. I’m on my period and we get 2 passes a day and I’m planning out my bathroom breaks rn. Also, I’ve gotten so many bladder infections because of my habit of holding it in for so long. Me and a ton of other kids are waiting on someone to have a accident so they stop the smart pass but yeah, annoying,
That’s the same thing at my school except most kids at my school don’t really care and just walk out or some teachers are against doing that aswell and let’s kids just go
The fact i get these same kinda of things in my school we get a behavior card each month (we get a field trip to like main event or somewhere fun like that each trimester if we have less than 5 infractions) and they give us 26 hallway passes including bathroom water etc everything except nurse and i go to the bathroom anywere from 1-3 times a day 4 if im on my period and its literally not enough 😭
My teachers always let us go when we ask except for when it was just break and tells us to wait a bit , their only rule is that only 2 students can be out at the same time so if someone else is in the bathroom the person has to wait before one of them returns
For my history class the teacher had a rule that you had 4 bathrooms trips every half term (6 ish weeks) and she wouldn’t let you go any other time. She signed your school journal every time so she knew when you went to. We had about 2 lessons a week an hour each so they didn’t last anyone very long. 😅
Teachers: Why didn’t you go between classes? Students: BeCauSe wE HaVe TwO fUcKiNg minUtEs To cRoSs the enTiRe daMn SchoOL Teachers: Why didn’t you go at lunch, then? Students: I dIdN’T hAvE tO Go ThEN
I remember a lot of my teachers did something like this, but a few did it in a better way. You would get 10 bathroom passes, and for each pass you didn’t use by the end of the quarter you would get extra credit. They wouldn’t stop you from going to the bathroom if you didn’t have a pass, you just wouldn’t get extra credit
Yeah, last year my chem teacher had bathroom passes... We got two for the whole semester.... Luckily, I don't need the bathroom often at school from the routine of not using the bathroom until i get home, but still
To be honest if you really need to go just walk out, holding it in is actually really bad for you so the teacher is actually compromising your health. Tell them that they can’t control when you need to go and ‘I thought you would rather have me go to the bathroom IN the bathroom instead of here’
I had a similar situation, on last month of school, there was no more being allowed to use restroom in one of my classes. I barely made it to class on time and had no time to use restroom, I asked teacher when I got in and she said no . Around 20 minutes later she says no again. 30 mins in class I explain it’s an emergency “no you should have gone before” is what she said. Now I really liked this teacher , but I was not going to pee myself. So I walked right out of class , used restroom came back. My teacher looked me dead in eye when I returned. I got a silent lunch and was off the hook, my teacher never looked at me the same tho.
My school has a policy like this, 2 passes per semester, if you need to go you get 3 days of detention and if you leave the class to use the bathroom if you run out of passes without permission you get a week suspension

That's Child abuse plain and simple.
Expecting a child to be capable of holding their bowels/bladder for the same span as an adult is stupid as hell, not to mention the host of medical issues it can cause as a mere product.
That's human abuse: food, water, air and toilet are basic need that should never be withould for any reasons.and should never be denied for punishment..if in a school any of this becomes a disciplinary tool that school need to be reported immediately.
Plus the fact that some have medical issues. I have IC and endometriosis. I filled my entire page of sign outs for the bathroom within the first month of school in 7th grade. IC comes with urgency very often, as well as pain, bad enough that I’d literally throw up just from a mildly full bladder.
Imagine a bladder infection/kidney infection or a really severe untreated UTI and that is what I feel almost daily.
My mom got a school shut down when I was in kindergarten cause I got punished for having to use the bathroom. She never didn’t tell that story when I started at a new school and she informed them that she would pursue it to the fullest extent of the law if that ever happens again because of my medical history. Nobody ever dared to deny bathrooms. I got lectured by it by a teacher in that 7th grade, ONCE. My parents showed up that next day. I never was spoken in any negative way ever again or questioned by that teacher.
Yeah these kind of stories really piss me off.
Plus I started periods at the age of 8, so the end of 3rd grade.
And I have endometriosis, which also caused extremely heavy periods and every 1-2 hours I’d have to go to the bathroom and change or I’d leak through everything. I hid it from age 8-12 from everyone I could.
So that also needs to be considered when discussing females.
In that kindergarten class the way that teacher treated me really traumatized me cause she would make me a visual ‘lesson’ to the entire class. From age 6-7 I started refusing to drink any water during the day anymore because of fear that I’d have to go to the bathroom.
I got a lot of severe dehydration scares, had to be hospitalized for an IV of fluids at one point, and caused 2 kidney infections in a 4 month period.
Mind you I lived in Arizona at the time and it was hot during these days, it was dangerous for me to be going from 7am-3 or 4pm with zero fluids.
So yeah. These teachers have a special place in hell if you ask me. 😂
@@Desertdreamer24 I'm sorry that you'd had such difficult medical issues, but I'm glad that your parents had your back. Much love ❤
@@Biancanevesonyit's noy
It's not abuse but it's rude
Why does that even exist?
Going to the bathroom is a basic need.
Why do teachers treat kids from 8-18 or more like they can’t even put on their clothes by themselves?!
they do it for the exact same reason they hold kids after the bell rings and they are no longer teaching but still want to exert power & control over their students.
It used to make me so angry that at the end of the day the teacher would play games letting students to slowly and not releasing us.
I do not have a lot of respect for educators, exposure to petty tyrannical big fish in small ponds causes such an attitude
Also homework, I do not miss school at all.
Because if they did let anyone go then students would take advantage of it, plus the reason teachers dont let students go is mainly students fault. Vapers going to the bathroom
@@rattelv426they used past experience(people abusing this rule to hang out in bathrooms, happens a lot nowadays) and decided on the rule, which is why teachers give you limited passes and why they tell you to go before/after class, so you aren’t really able to do it
@@CleanWaterr so because of a few bad actors, punish everyone.
Ok authoritarian.
Sadly kids abuse the right. But I still think that some bathroom rules are just stupid since kids find ways around a lot of rules anyways. When I was under 10 I wanted to do a bathroom meetup with my then bestie, and the teacher said no since they knew we were close. I asked another teacher who didn’t know about it. Regretted it afterwards and we weren’t there long but yeah… kids rly do abuse it and if ruins it for others. For younger kids it’s usually to mess around, for older kids it’s to gossip or… stuff you aren’t supposed to do. Really sucks, especially considering that I rarely and I mean rarely use school bathrooms. I only ever used my gym one a few times towards the end cuz I found out it was clean, and then the general one once throughout my entire stay at that school. Didn’t even know where the girl bathrooms were…
I had a teacher like this, he got rid of his stupid rules after a girl free bled everywhere bc she used her 3 passes for the year.
THREE?!
I'M WITH THIS GUY,
TF YOU MEAN THREE?!
THREEE????
WHAT
THREE FOR THE YEAR!?!? WHAT THE FUCK
Same thing at my school I have gastrointestinal issues so after a teacher told me I couldn't use the bathroom I told my mom she had a meeting with the principal and I got a pass to use the bathroom anytime I needed to
When I was in 8th grade and suffering from PCOS/ extremely heavy- painful period, we had this same planner thing. I'd get most teachers to sign my planner, but there were several teachers and subs that refused and said I should have gone between classes- even though the last teacher kept me late to discuss upcoming homework. Anyway, having an emergency and needing the restroom for obvious things, I quietly asked the teacher to go and she just stared me down like I was muck on her shoe. She refused and told me to sit down or she'd fail me. So I did... Sat there and ended up with a large puddle of you know what under me, on the wooden chair and when I stood up, all the way down my legs. I just stood there while the boys ran from the room and the girls all yelled at the teacher, horrified... The teacher was reprimanded by my father and the principal and from then on, if I needed the restroom, I just quietly slipped out of the room, quickly did what I needed and then slipped back into the classroom. Some rules are so stupid, and I'm a certified teacher now, lol!
wow, that's so stupid. I'm glad the teacher had a consequence, also W father.
that sounds disgusting.... if i were in the same class my voice would be the loudest out of all the girls
i am quite . sorry for you but i am gald that problem is solved now
I had a teacher who denied me from running to the bathroom i had real issues when i was little. From the crazy household i grew up in. Certain things can trigger a child. This is something that should never be denied. Basic human needs.
My social studies teacher says “it is your unalienable right to use the bathroom, including fairness rights, not to be judged on ethnicity, all adults having the right to vote, etc.”
Yeah, bad things can happen if you hold your pee in for too long. It’s genuinely bad for your health
Wanna hear a story so in like kindergarten my teacher wouldn't let me go to the bathroom so i had to hold it and everytime i had to go to the bathroom i had to hold and i got a uti and and i told my mom and she asked the teacher and the teacher said " i let her use the bath room whenever she wants" then it became a habit of holding my pee and i now have 6 or 7 UTIs if i get one more i have to get a new kidney or something
Thats why my parents said if a teacher denies me access to the bathroom to just get up and walk out 😅
I just do this now
I tell my kids the same thing!
Unless they say like wait cuz someone is in there or wait a couple minutes until I finish talking about this thing (unless it’s an emergency)
@@SillyWolfGuy Exactly yeah lol. If they say you can but to wait for someone to come back then wait unless its an emergency.
Yeah same
It pisses me off so much especially if I’m on my period if teachers don’t let you go to the bathroom like I’ve gotta change my tampon and don’t wanna get toxic shock syndrome which is LIFE THREATENING
Yeah. They don't care. I almost died and almost had to get a kidney transplant because of something similar.
feel bad for you guys ngl
@@jessicathompson236DUDE??? THAT GUY WHO CAUSED THAT SHOULD BE IN *PRISON* !!!!!! (might be an overexaggerated BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN)
First of all, that's lawsuit against school. Very good and pricy lawsuit. Well, depending on the country I guess, but in most countries school will be liable.
Second. Can parents finally teach their gods damned kids basic knowledge about their rights? Teacher has no control over kid's movement and any kid can just leave the class and go to the bathroom or wherever else. That's the first thing I taught my kids when they went to school - that if you have a reason, you just ignore teacher and do what you must, they have no say and no control over your freedom of movement, they have no right to take possession of your property, no right to go through your phone.
How much for having locked toilets?
@@cheekycharlie24 what do you mean locked toilets? If school does not have publicly accessible toilets they will be fined. If as a result of this child ended up in a problem, they will be facing lawsuit and possibly be closed until toilet issue gets resolved (depending on the country)
@@H0ttabych our toilets have been locked, we rarely see them open and if you want to go you have to go to the office and it’s a max of 10 people a day there.
@@cheekycharlie24 your parents or you if you are of legal age should contact your local authorities about it
Thats why i dont ask, i tell them im going to the bathroom. If they have a problem with it they can call my dad, who would gladly cuss them out
Reminds me of the time I had a doctors note and all the teachers were notified to let me use the bathroom if I had to go because I have weak muscles in my bladder that can’t be strengthened. This one teacher was notorious for being a bitch. I asked to use the bathroom and she said no, but I just got up and walked out anyway. She tried getting me in trouble but I reminded her I had Principal approval to walk out if I needed to go. Never had an issue again. Why do some teachers feel the need to abuse the position of power they hold over kids?
Remember trying TO HOLD IT can cause damage to your bowels and bladder.
The “You should’ve gone between classes” was always the most bs thing I ever heard. Especially when my schools only gave us 4 minutes to get between classes.
bro we only have 2 minutes so we have to run to class most of the time unless we want to be late
If a parent did this at home, CPS would show up. This is child abuse.
Me: “Why do you think that if a student is still in school, they can dictate their bladder and decide they don’t need to go right now?
School system: “bEcAuSe ReAsOnS”
Bathroom-passes ? Would be removed within a week nowadays when one parent finds out and starts talking shit about this. And that would he deserved if you ask me since going to the bathroom is something you have since birth, it's a human right
Yeah my high school teachers learned really fuckin quick that if I have to go to the bathroom, I was going to go. They were lucky if I asked them🤷🏼♂️
My school tried this back in the 7th grade. 2nd week in, a kid Threatend to drop his pants and pee into a trash can. He was sent to the office instantly and his parents were called. His parents showed up with a lawyer and threatened to sue for any and everything...
The whole pass system was abandonded by the 3rd week of school that year.
LOOOOLLL How the hell do you show up with a lawyer that quickly?!? 🤣
@@DatCoasterGuy kid told the parents about the system before hand. As he had trouble with it previously.
This is absolutely stupid. At my school, we aren't allowed to go, period, which I think is awful, especially for girls, like do they know how the human body works?
Ha... i have a good one, usually my teachers were really good about not doing a power trip over our human rights in class, if you were hungry you would eat, if you needed to use the toilet you will do, but one teacher refused to let my friend go to the toilet when she was on her period , so after he refused to let her go anywhere on a 4 hour class so at the hour 3 she took her pad out in class and throw it in his face, he throw up and run out of the class, our principal took his place and asked us what the f@ck but in a very polite way, my friend was at the toilet at that point, we explained to her and she had a moment before asking us if he didn’t let us go on the mandatory breaks every 90 minutes, he didn’t, it's like 15 minutes break, it was the second week of September, so beginning of the year, he didn’t let us go in the last time as well, you could see in her eyes that she could already feel like she is getting sued, that teacher got fired that same day, and got his teaching license provoked and he got blacklisted from working with weaker populations like children and elderly, i don't know what he does now, my friend is doing well, is in the airforce, wasn't even punished over using bio weapon on a teacher, it was deemed as justified by the administration and we had a huge gathering in my school to make sure everyone are aware that our breaks are mandatory. Not a price. Also keeping a child away from the bathrooms is child abuse that can damage their bladder for a lifetime
threw the pad in his face..?
I have loads of teachers at my school that deny EVERYONE to use the toilet (even girls on their cycle)
There's one new teacher officially a teacher in September and the 3 lessons I had with him a ton of girls were on their cycle (2 week time period) And they explore to him very simple that they were on their period. For all those girls he denied them all to go to the bathroom and started yelling that periods are fake or in his words "THEY'RE A HOAX TO GO TOILET" And forced them to sit in a dry blood soaked pad or tampon with possible blood dripping down their leg
Once I had my period in his lesson and said that I really needed to go to the bathroom and I was on my period again he said they were fake and forced me to sit down and told all us girls (Especially me since I asked 3 times in his lesson) "You all know periods are fake and if they are real you can hold it in like all the boys" I was still stood at his desk getting angrier as he praised the boys for not having "Fake periods" and as soon as he finished yelling at me again I turned back to him and told him "Alright sir I know you definitely don't have periods for obvious reasons but us girls physically can't hold it in" he again said I was lying and I quickly responded "Sir if you accidentally got a cut on your finger or arm or something would you be able to hold the blood in for a while?" he replied obviously not and I said "Well then that's what periods are it's literal BLOOD pouring out our bodies and clearly you failed school because that's basic knowledge" I then grabbed my bag and jacket and walked out
I ended up getting searched for in the school but I was hiding in the bathroom and on the phone with my mother asking her to pick me up and that I'd be waiting outside for her or I'll walk home (My house is about 30-40 minutes away on foot) My mum obviously refused so I went outside of the school at 10 am and jumped the fence into the playground behind school I sat on the swing for a bit (apparently an hour because I heard the bell for break and hundreds of footsteps) before anyone could see me I left the park and walked across town I decided to go around the town and too the beach before walked along the prom to my house whilst on the phone with my mum
safe to say he never denied a girl and I got a VERY long telling off and a meeting with my mum and the school
Massive tangent if ur here 🍪here's a cookie
Huge W for you. I hate these kind of males who say "PeRiOd Is FaKe!1!!" but you handled it really well. I hope you didn't get any negative effect from what you endured tho, i wish you the best. You've done a very good job :3
@@kyoko2911 Yeah I hate that too, but I am really happy that the teacher got reprimanded or at least some consequence for being that stupid lol
Yeah I would've tried to sue him bc like
Having a tampon in for too long can give you toxic shock syndrome and that can kill you
I will never understand men who think periods are fake
When they see pads and tampons what do they think they are sold for? Period panties? Diva cups? What do they think are the use? Companies selling them to women just for a fake thing? What would be the point when it's worn inside clothes and you could lie and say you had one? Why would commercials try to promote how obsorbent theirs were if periods arnt real?
There's no logic to it idc if boys arnt taught about them, there's no logic in believing they don't exist
I remember as I got older our teachers just had us stop asking. Just leave quietly and come back, asking is annoying.
But before that, always asking. Teachers never denied us though if it was really serious. Maybe deny once, try to convince to go during break, be a bit annoyed that kids didnt use breaktime instead, but if asked again definitely allowed it.
And of course the traditional "can i go to the bathroom?" "I dont know, can you?" 😂
Our school does the same thing it is so anything
We had the same thing and if you over used all your passes and asked to go to the bathroom and you didn’t have any passes you would have to talk with your parents and the principal about “why you have to go to the bathroom so much” when a semester where I love is like 4 months and we only have 13 passes, 2 of my teachers would let you go because they thought it was unethical to do that
13? I get 2
XD FRL
I ONCE CRIED IN CLASS BC A TEACHER DIDN'T LET ME GO TAKE A PISS SO I PEED INTO A GLASS BOTTLE AND POWERED IT ON GER DESK
XDDDD
Had the same problem in middle and high school. Both schools you had 5 minutes in between classes. It may not be a bad thing except for the fact that some classes were across the campus. We have mostly outdoor campuses. Middle was a bit different since most classes were near each other but i did have two classes that were father apart from the others. They were in a building near the back towards the open field. High school is different with classes being all over the place. Again had 5 minutes to get to class. My favorite phrase from teachers was, "I can walk from one side of campus to the other and have time to say hi to another teacher and STILL get to class on time. You have no excuse!" Which i call bs. Since ive seen teachers rush to get to class. 😂
As a teacher, I have never denied a student from going at all. But sometimes principals force a policy for how many students can be out of a room at once because of behavior issues in the halls or bathrooms, and then I have to ask students if they are able to wait to take turns. I still write extras passes for emergencies though.
There should be a lawsuit
That teacher should lose their credentials and whoever instituted that policy should be behind bars.
A teacher in my junior high school refused to let a girl go to the bathroom. She ended up peeing herself. The teacher was fired, their teaching credentials were revoked, and the following week they were beaten bloody in a bar by the girls uncles.
Fun fact: holding in your pee can actually cause irriverible damage.
There have been studies that show that people who hold their bowels/bladder for long(er) periods of time have a large chance of getting infections, later down the line it can also cause inabilty to control your bowels/bladder, and sometimes it can even cause cancer. So yea, of a teacher doesnt let you use the bathroom, listen to your body. If youre using all your strength to hold it in, JUST GO. Yes you will definitely get in trouble with at least the teacher, but at least you didnt get cancer
My school had bathroom passes. The teachers didn't even care, you could only use it once, but some teachers let you use a used one, and they didnt stop you even if you had to go.
Teachers like that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near kids, that is abuse.
My friend had an illness that required him to go to the toilet as soon as he needed to. He couldn’t ask, or it might be too late. He was in hospital almost half the year when all his absents added up. One day we had a sub who blocked his path out of the door. She asked him where did he think he was going, and he said to the bathroom. We were all practically screaming at her, telling her he could be allowed. She didn’t listen and because of that, he went to hospital that day.
My daughter was on dialysis when she was little so when she was in the first grade I had lunch with her and she asked to use the restroom the teacher said NO. She looked at me. Mommy I need to go. I just smile go then. She gets up and the teacher comes over I didn’t give you permission to leave. I shoo my daughter on and look at
teacher I said she can go now if you want her to go here will it will be you cleaning it up not her because she did ask nicely. Mind you there was about 200 bodies in the lunch room. My daughter told me after that she never had any problems and the teacher was informed about my daughter dialyses .
I don't understand it honestly, if theyre worried about kids doing bad shit while they're out of the classroom then they should have better security. If you have to go, you have to go. denying children of a basic need because they can't be bothered with keeping up with them.
(Bearing in mind I’m from UK when I mention the types of schools) In my primary school, the teachers had a rule that you couldn’t go to the toilet if someone else left the classroom for any reason, even if the other student hadn’t gone to the toilet themselves (e.g. to get a water bottle refilled) so only one student was allowed out at any one time. It didn’t work too well because some of the people who left the classroom just wandered around instead of what they’d asked to do, so whoever needed to go to the toilet just had to stand and wait at the door as they tried not to pee themselves waiting for the other student to come back.
At my high school, some of the teachers were lenient about leaving to go to the toilet and would just let you go so long as you were polite about asking. Others absolutely _refused_ to let you go to the toilet during lessons unless you had a medical condition they were aware of that might affect bowel/bladder control. The main response of most teachers was “you should have gone at break/lunch, that’s what it’s there for.” Problem with that was that there weren’t many toilets throughout the school and the break/lunch staff were told to only let six students into each of the toilets at a time because that’s how many toilet stalls there were in the bathrooms - only they didn’t usually check who was in there and a lot of people used them as a hangout area if they didn’t want to go outside, so you couldn’t even go to the toilet during break/lunch because they wouldn’t let you in.
I had a few classmates who literally peed themselves when they were _15-16_ because they weren’t allowed to go to the toilet, and one friend who nearly _always_ had a bladder infection for the entirety of the time we were at school for because the teachers would make her just hold it.
Our school only does it bc (we get two a day and hall passes in the back of the book) the boys draw on the stalls/walls, shove paper towels in the toilets/urinals and so now their paper towels sit outside of the bathroom. Thanks, boys. But I think it's fair. If it's an emergency and the passes are full, we just have to take the book with us.
In my school people aren’t allowed to leave class to go to the bathroom unless they have a doctors note 😭😭😭😭
bro just go to the bathroom no one cares if you need a doctors note or not, you will have a doctors note if you keep it in
I thought that lemon juicer was something else for a second💀💀💀
😂😂got what he deserves 😂😂❤❤❤ girl power❤❤❤
my school does the same thing, you get 5 minutes on passing time and classes can be across the school, i really hate the rule so i js dont drink water anymore so i dont need to pee
Teachers like that need to be educated on what happens when people have to go pee but are not allowed to. What happens when you hold it for too long.
It's painful!!
The urine can back up into your kidneys and cause damage!
It can also cause UTIs, bladder infection and kidney issues.
It's even worse in children because their bladders are not fully developed yet.
My middle school did this but thankfully most teachers hated that rule with all their guts. My 1-3 and 7th period teachers so my 4-6 period teachers didn’t do it
This happened to me in like 5th grade I ended up with a major kidney infection and the teacher was fired
At my school, we can’t take BLAZERS off at all without permission or ties. We can only go to the bathroom once a day unless we have special permission and they took every single mirror out of bathrooms because apparently it’s scary for younger kids to see the older kids standing near a mirror
Wow. Never heard of anyone bold enough to actually do it.
That’s what they did at my junior high school too, we only got 2 bathroom passes per class per semester. It was honestly horrible, especially because junior high is when girls start getting things like their periods.
dude, our planner passes also went for charging cords, going to the nurse and library, the office, basically anything you had to do for yourself that took you outside the classroom. you could also have passes removed as punishment, and you only got two for the whole day
I have that at my middle school. You can only go 5 times per semester, and you can’t go the first 15 mins of class, and the last 15 mins of class.
My mum did this in kindergarten, they were then allowed to leave to the bathroom whenever they wanted, they just had to inform the teacher because they were still kindergartners:) 😂 she made sure i knew i am aloud to leave the classroom anytime if i have to or want to, and i homeschool myself now so i really can go whenever i want🎉😂
In hs I asked to go to the restroom durring english my teacher said no to hold off till break. We were in the middle of a 2hr block. I stood up and made my way to the door she ran to block the door and told me to sit down. I asked her if she thought she could physically stop me from peeing because I know I couldnt hold it, so I either go pee in the restroom or im pissing in the trashcan infront of everyone and she can explain why the kid that is never in trouble and literally won awards for the hs was humiliated in front of his peers. She gave me a quizzacal look and then she stepped past me to get back to the front of the room. She apparently talked to the vic principal about how best to punish me in a teacher meeting the next morning and got laught at for being pee patrol. She relaxed alot of her more totalitarian rules.
I've have multiple teacher (high school and college) who made it clear at the beginning of the semester that if you need to use the bathroom, that you can just get up and go as long as you do it quietly. Best teachers ever
Bro just go they can't stop you
They give detention for it and even stop you from recess/lunchtime breaks
@@jessicathompson236 and you can sue the school for breaking human rights. this is child abuse i bet the school would love to hear this being all over the news especially when its actually extremely unhealthy to force children to hold in excrement
Yes they can. I've heard of people being PHYSICALLY BLOCKED by their teachers
@@BennyDrawesnot legally i dont think
@@SunnySlays101 but they can still stop ypu
She took one for the team ❤ respect
In my school, we’re only allowed two bathroom breaks a day and you have 5 minutes each time. Theres been times where people threw up, had period emergencies, bowel problems, ect. It was crazy and tons of parents were mad as shit but the rule was never removed :(
In until someone threatens with a lawsuit
I have this same rule at my school except it’s 10 hall passes per semester (which have to use to go to your locker,bathrooms, nurse, etc) not even lying I was having a serious allergic reaction but I ran out of passes so I had to stay in the class until it ended (we have 2 minutes for passing period for some reason⁉️⁉️)
Dude that’s straight up illegal
U can sue the school for that
"You should have gone in-between classes."
Idk about other schools but my schools a private one, and if your class isn't right next to the bathroom, by the time you get there, there's already a line of people needing to use the bathroom.
So even if you did manage that, you'll still be late... Been late to many times? After-school detention.
I had a teacher once try and deny me going to the bathroom when I was really sick and about to puke. She said no, but I couldn't just sit there and ended up puking all over the textbook and desk. She let me go after that. Meanwhile, my mother in high school, in all her teenage glory, asked a male teacher to use the restroom. He told her no, which she replied, very loudly, that she was going to sit there and bleed all over if he didn't (she had just started her period). The teacher was horrified and let her go. Hence why I told my kids that if they ever needed to go, just go, and I'd deal with the fallout.
teacher did this to me in 1st grade... i peed all over the chair and carpet and i got unlimited bathroom passes while i was in that school
If a teacher wasn’t letting my go to the bathroom, i would just say “that is child abuse” go to the bathroom, tell the principal, then walk home/to a friends house
This sounds a lot like my school. For every 7 weeks we get 7 passes but we changed from planners to E passes this year so we have to get out our computer and it times us. Forgive certain people because they didn’t have time to use the bathroom and get all the way across the school in 3 minutes!!!!
This happens in my lessons but I have never been denied. I don’t like going in school because of what the boys have done (aka drvgs) and I’m never sure if they sneak in the girls because I was told that a bunch of boys did before. If you want to go to the toilet, you have to have a pass or it has to be 10 minutes after the lesson. When there is 10 minutes left you can’t either. Our toilets have been locked and the staff forget to open them for passing periods, break and lunch all the time. We can rarely use the toilets and then they moan at us for not going. Their toilets aren’t locked tho are they? The only time I asked to go to the bathroom was when I realised my skirt was inside out and my math teacher knew very well that I wouldn’t just mess around so I literally had to sprint to the toilets before they locked it. Schools are horrible to us about going to the toilet.
My parents always told my siblings and I that if a teacher ever said no to us going to the bathroom to just walk out and go we won’t get in trouble and to just walk out
my school has the same exact thing and you only get 20 passes per semester and if you go to the nurse bc you are hurt really bad or go to the library it uses one of your passes
i remember pooping myself and having multiple uti’s throughout kindergarten because the teacher wouldn’t let me go to the bathroom. i kept peeing my pants constantly and it turns out i developed a bladder issue where i couldn’t feel when i had to go. it’s safe to say i was allowed to use the bathroom every single time after that
The reason was because they dont want kids skipping out on class because theyd rather spend the entire class their its a vague memory from school i have but its still not warrented just let the kid go to the bathroom. Some of my teacher even made a penalty system. It was a three strike system in which if you need the bathroom more then three times they would autofail your next major test. It was beyond messed up.
First thing I thought of was what about people who menstruate? You can’t control that, you can’t plan it. Alongside that what about people with medical conditions that might require them to go to the restroom more than the average person?
My teacher legit says that we should have gone to the bathroom at lunchtime
like she literally acts like we obviously needed to use the bathroom then
even though we’re human, she treats us like robots that can control natural human behaviour
My school started off with passes that stick to the door using a Velcro but kids were f’ing around so they did this, but in fear of this happening they will let us if it an emergency and if we’re out
My school does this but you can't go in between classes.
My school literally just started using this rule this year. They changed passing periods to 5 minutes because we cant fill up our water bottles in class anymore. We have like 10 passes per semester and on the second day of school, i was so scared of using a pass too soon into school that I bled through my pants. Its a terrible rule.
Bro, at my school we used to have five min to get from one class to another and keep in mind. We have 8 buildings. I guess that would be enough time to get to ur next class right? Well, a year later, they changed the time to four min because of fights that would happen in between periods. And no one was able to go to the bathroom then, you learn how much a minute can really help you out when you don’t want to be late to a class. And then a year later, they changed it to three minutes because kids would gang up in the bathrooms and vape!! (And they really dgaf if they got in trouble, so like what was the freaking point) now we only have three minutes to get from one class to another and most kids schedules go from building one to building eight, which makes them have to walk around the whole damn school in three minutes!🤦♀️ into top it all off most teachers still expect you to have been able to go to the bathroom and that amount of time. A few of my teachers only let kids go to the bathroom two times per semester!!!
They made us use a website that tracked the time it took and if you were too close to the 5 minutes you got, you got in trouble. The bad part was the boys bathroom was like 15 second away but the girls could only use the bathroom 2 minutes away, we couldn’t use the one that was one floor down and 30 seconds away. That meant. that the girl only had about a minute to use the bathroom. We also had 1 a day.

This is my class lol. My Writing & Grammar teacher says ‘one bathroom pass during class each quarter’ 😅
Also, depending on where you are, it can be illegal to not let a child go to the restroom because you can form a urinary track infection from holding it in for too long
Our school uses the 10/10 rule. But we get 9 passes per semester and let you go if truly needed 😭 this is just plain abuse
Yall lucky yall even get bathroom passes for each semester- i had to hold it in for 2 hours straight cuz i had to go so bad but you can only go at break or lunch, school policy cuz im in ✨uk✨
this is kinda like my school but we have completely electronic passes (using our ipads) anyhow you only get two a day and all of the teachers can see how many you’ve used, how long you were in there, they can deny them, and each teacher gets to see who all is in the hall so if they feel like you’re going out there just to talk or something they won’t let you go. and if you go to another teacher the next teacher has to approve that you got there. if you’re somewhere past five minutes you get flagged and some teachers won’t let you go after that. our passes are about to be five a month which people know is not enough for a middle schooler especially a girl because in middle school most girls get their menstrual cycle and need to change their pad/tampon. and our passes are getting out of hand so most people will get less than others. thoughts on this?
My school made a rule only for 7th graders that you only had five passes, and you were rewarded by not using any of them with candy.
What the hell? Peeing is a need, holding it in for extended periods over and over can cause bladder problems and kidney problems.
It's a lawsuit, and they need new faculty staff. Absolute gross misconduct.
I have a school like this and I feel u sara
My school has “smart pass” and it’s annoying as hell bc they can choose, when, where, and how many passes you got. I’m on my period and we get 2 passes a day and I’m planning out my bathroom breaks rn. Also, I’ve gotten so many bladder infections because of my habit of holding it in for so long. Me and a ton of other kids are waiting on someone to have a accident so they stop the smart pass but yeah, annoying,
That’s the same thing at my school except most kids at my school don’t really care and just walk out or some teachers are against doing that aswell and let’s kids just go
My school does the same thing we get to go three times for the day
My English teacher only lets us go to the bathroom ONCE per TRIMESTER.
The fact i get these same kinda of things in my school we get a behavior card each month (we get a field trip to like main event or somewhere fun like that each trimester if we have less than 5 infractions) and they give us 26 hallway passes including bathroom water etc everything except nurse and i go to the bathroom anywere from 1-3 times a day 4 if im on my period and its literally not enough 😭
At my school we have a similar policy for the bathroom we can only go once a day
My teachers always let us go when we ask except for when it was just break and tells us to wait a bit , their only rule is that only 2 students can be out at the same time so if someone else is in the bathroom the person has to wait before one of them returns
For my history class the teacher had a rule that you had 4 bathrooms trips every half term (6 ish weeks) and she wouldn’t let you go any other time. She signed your school journal every time so she knew when you went to. We had about 2 lessons a week an hour each so they didn’t last anyone very long. 😅
This is exactly why my mom always tells me to just go if they don’t let me. Says she’ll deal with it if there’s a problem
Teachers: Why didn’t you go between classes?
Students: BeCauSe wE HaVe TwO fUcKiNg minUtEs To cRoSs the enTiRe daMn SchoOL
Teachers: Why didn’t you go at lunch, then?
Students: I dIdN’T hAvE tO Go ThEN
I remember a lot of my teachers did something like this, but a few did it in a better way. You would get 10 bathroom passes, and for each pass you didn’t use by the end of the quarter you would get extra credit. They wouldn’t stop you from going to the bathroom if you didn’t have a pass, you just wouldn’t get extra credit
Yeah, last year my chem teacher had bathroom passes... We got two for the whole semester.... Luckily, I don't need the bathroom often at school from the routine of not using the bathroom until i get home, but still
To be honest if you really need to go just walk out, holding it in is actually really bad for you so the teacher is actually compromising your health. Tell them that they can’t control when you need to go and ‘I thought you would rather have me go to the bathroom IN the bathroom instead of here’
I'd just walk out.
In my school you can go twice a day, and if if don’t have anymore passes but it’s an emergency you can still go.
I had a similar situation, on last month of school, there was no more being allowed to use restroom in one of my classes. I barely made it to class on time and had no time to use restroom, I asked teacher when I got in and she said no . Around 20 minutes later she says no again. 30 mins in class I explain it’s an emergency “no you should have gone before” is what she said. Now I really liked this teacher , but I was not going to pee myself. So I walked right out of class , used restroom came back. My teacher looked me dead in eye when I returned. I got a silent lunch and was off the hook, my teacher never looked at me the same tho.
My school has a policy like this, 2 passes per semester, if you need to go you get 3 days of detention and if you leave the class to use the bathroom if you run out of passes without permission you get a week suspension
This happens at my school....
