Now let's discuss the problems children can have because the teachers won't let them use the bathroom. Constipation from having to hold it, Urinary Tract Infections from holding it. I'm sorry, but when a person has to have a bowel movement or urinate they have to do it. Adults have an easier time holding it then children. Get a grip, force a child to "TIME" their bowel movements or unrine passing to when they have recess. Also, if they use the bathroom in between classes then they get in trouble for being tardy to class. Come on, 3-5 min to do your duty, pull your drawers up, wash your hands, get to your locker for your books for the next class. What about he girls who have periods? Believe me, that isn't enought ime to do all tht and change your sanitary napkin.

This topic is in the Education forum and the Bathroom Rights at School petition forum.

I agree totally at my school they lock the bathroom doors. We get 3 times to go to the bathroom and we have 5 minutes. Its nearly impossible to get a teacher to let you go when your in class. This must be stopped!

My doctor said I have to go to the bathroom at least every two hours and she said its the same for everyone. My mom called the school and told them doctors orders but i still cant go! The only time we can go is at lunch but i want to eat my lunch. We only have 30 minutes. Then i cant hold it. I sweear one of these days im going to pee on myself.
