      I really don’t understand teachers when they don’t let kids go to the toilet. If you need it, you need it.

      You can tell if a kid is taking the piss (not literally) when it comes to skiving.

      I can’t help but feel some teachers enjoy their little power trips.

      The parents should tell the school they are about to take the kid away on holiday. That should speed them up issuing his permission to piss.

      National paper worthy… this is why no one buys this shit rag “ no pun intended“

      When the teacher refused to read the letter from the urologist the kid should’ve pissed on the teachers desk and/or face tbh.

      If he has a medical condition then the school are going to find themselves liable for this, probably financially.

      Schools and teachers complain they get no respect anymore and still insist on doing bull shit like this

      I can’t help but feel this kid is going to get relentlessly bullied as a result of this news article, some children are horribly cruel.

      I’m unsure why teachers refused to even read his doctors note, this whole situation is so silly and easily avoided.

      I’m shocked schools have such power. Shouldn’t children be able to use the bathroom when they need to? A medical condition such as that outlined above that needs support from a specialist at Alder Hey should mean he can use the bathroom whenever he likes.

      Looking back, I really can’t remember ever needing the toilet in the middle of lessons, nor any classmates. This was back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and before anyone had heard of hydration.

      Has this only become an issue since children are constantly drinking from water bottles they now carry everywhere?

      On the Mirror’s story, obviously this particular boy has a medical condition but I can’t help noticing the hospital has misspelled his name, and the Mirror has not redacted the nursing team’s phone number. Is it really national news? Well, it is now, although ironically, the parents asked the school for *“discretion around the child’s medical needs“.* That ship has well and truly sailed and mum launched it with a bottle of champagne when she called Fleet Street.

      As somebody who had Crohn’s Disease in school if I could go back and sue..

      Yup, similar happened in my school. I can’t shake the feeling that this is all just the result of a massively underfunded education system. Low grades because there’s not enough resources for the kids? Stop them from going to the bathroom so they spend max time in class as possible, that will help!

      This happened in the 90s also, kinda thought teachers would have learnt after all the trauma we had to deal with and young kids peeing themselves on their seats.

      This happened to me. Also when I was 14. We were going for a day out in Margate.

      Do you really think teachers want to waste their time policin rules around loos?

      Teachers are far too busy to be ‚on a power trip‘

      There are reason why schools have rules around toilet breaks and its because the vast majority of safeguarding issues occur when pupils are not with teachers, and that invariably is in toilets.

      But of course all these commentators think its about a power trip.

      Parents fault IMO, he has the letter to give to the teachers but its not up to the teachers to deal with his medical needs unless directed by the school to do so.

      The mum should have taken the letter in person to the school office and impart on them how important it is that he follows this routine. Instead they relied on a teacher believing him when theres been no medical instruction from the headteacher or nurses office.

      poor poor child, I have a bladder disorder myself and I know how anxiety inducing it is to not have access to a toilet immediately. the difference is I’m a grown adult who isn’t afraid to start shit if I was ever denied access.

      that poor child shouldn’t be expected to fight authority figures for medical accessibility requirements. I think schools just inherently believe all children and bad and always itching for excuses not to learn, when that isn’t true.

      Ah this brings back memories. When the daughter just got up and went to the loo after being told no

      Got called out to the school as they wanted to detain her.

      Was a good day out. Got to call the headmaster a biology teacher no less. That he was a fracking idiot and might want to read up on what cystitis is.

      Good times

      When I was in high school, I used to occasionally faint due to low blood pressure. One thing that helped was drinking plenty of water. My mum wrote a note explaining this „what goes in must come out“. The school gave me a toilet pass. I could go whenever I wanted. No drama.

      Teach your child to TELL the teacher (respectfully) that they are going to use the toilet. They DO NOT ask for permission.
      If the child is abusing the toilet break time, then that is a seperate situation.
