School kids and toilet breaks

[powelly]

I found out last night that at my 8 year olds school, 4 days a week they do not have an afternoon break, during these 2 and a half hour sessions they are allowed to go to the toilet or to the water fountain but if they do they lose 2 minutes of golden time. In essence they are punished for getting a drink or going to the toilet.

Is it just me or is this absolutely disgusting, I can understand the importance of not disrupting classes but to actually punish children for what is a natural bodily function seems ridiculous, and potentially harmful.

You couldn’t do this in a call centre so why is it acceptable for our children!

Has anyone come across something similar before?

reminds me of the totalitarian state of a certain bank which begins with the letter H, where we wore tags everywhere that tracked our movements via locked doors everywhere.

Far as I know there not allowed to do that, They tried that in my secondary school and I was told it was a violation of human rights or something like that. I would have went anyway so would any teen. But thats wrong on a kid, you can do damage by holding it in https://www.fadzter.com/smilies/shame.gif

My young son told me that once in class they’re in class… and under no circumstances can they go to the toilet. He spoke out and said no problem I will ask my mum if I can bring in extra boxer shorts and trousers, As I am prepared to wee myself as I cant hold my bladder for very long (boy was 10 at the time) I spoke to the head explaining the boy bladder issues. He said we have rules for all the children, and it can disrupt other pupils. I thought he was taking the piss then (pun time). boy bladder seems ok now a year later. must have been having to hold it in that fixed it

Another Rule they have implemented is at Christmas they are not to give cards to friends but put the price if the card in the charity box “for them less fortunate than themselves” my boy said screw that dad my mates come first and they all gave cards out of school…

He said to me, If I want to give money to charity I will, but I don’t want to be told I have too. GOOD LAD.

Catholic school can be a good education. But not always what’s best for the kids.

Thats just totally shit if i must say so!

Maybe when they reach high school they can learn to hold it in easier but little kids? They don't have the bladder control of an older person.

When i was at high school (Well year 10 and 11) the boys toilets kept getting vandalised so for about 2 weeks (yes for about 2 weeks!) our toilets were constantly locked. Luckily for me my stepdad was the caretaker so cut me a key

There was a competition to win a nintendo wii and the competitors had to drink a bottle of water per 15 minutes and the person who lasts the longest without pissing their pants was obviously the winner...anyway a woman died trying to win a nintendo wii. So it is dangerous, I would complain to the school. Obviously use the dangerous card even though the child will probably piss theirselves before dying...but putting that aside, it's just wrong.

Hi

Having someone hold it in a bit is very different to putting someone under pressure to drink a hell of a lot of water and hold it in.

This thread seems a very stark contrast to the opinions in another thread:-

I think that's an appalling policy. Basically if a child does have a bladder problem, they are singled out?

It's a difficult one though - I know some schools find the constant toilet breaks disruptive to lessons, I don't know what the solution is.

Got a reply back from the headmaster today which is rather long winded but confirms that children who want water or the toilet during class time are indeed given a penalty of 2 mins golden time.

Thats bull shit answers from the Head, They are teaching children not training puppies write to the education board! You are not going over the top going to the toilet is not a privilege you know.
