Stupid, children-hating teachers and bathroom nazis
If you're such a callous bitch that you won't let an A-student, incredibly polite young girl go to the bathroom when she starts her period for the first time, you have no fucking business being anywhere near anyone's children.
My best friend's little sister was driven home early today because she was so upset and embarrassed over it. Shit like this shouldn't happen to anyone, least of all her. Her parents are absolutely furious and they're some of the most docile and well-mannered individuals I know, so it's really saying something. The teacher doesn't even have the decency to admit that she was well in the wrong and is being a snarky bitch in a volley of emails between her and the parents.
Her reason for not letting her go to the bathroom was because the poor girl didn't record her homework (in her personal planner, mind you) to the exact specifications of the teacher's way, but then she started fudging around and saying (completely unwarranted) that students sometimes aren't really going to the bathroom.
First of all, people should write in whatever way will make them remember. Second, it's just the bathroom, jesus CHRIST. My old schools are full of goddamn bathroom nazis that get anal and strung up over people taking too long to shit, meeting up with friends instead, etc. It's one thing if you know there's a kid doing it because you caught them or they take like an hour in the bathroom, but not a girl who is nothing short of an angel and has never given anyone any reason to think twice.
I'm so sick of teachers being absolutely crazy over bathroom trips. People shit. People piss. Ladies get visits from Aunt Flo. It kinda happens. I do not care for whatever flimsy rationale they give, because when you gotta go you gotta fucking go and parents shouldn't have to worry about whether or not their child will be made to soil their undies in public because some teacher is on a power trip. Being able to go do your business should be a given.
This problem was in my junior year of high school too, my history teacher was a complete douche that made us hold on to bathroom slips, which we only had 6 of for the entire year. Each time we had to go, we gave one up. He discouraged us from using them by making them worth extra credit points at the end of the semester.
I don't see what one's bowel movements have to do with one's ability to comprehend history.
If you ran out, but still had to go? He'd mark you tardy if you went to the bathroom.
I don't see how one's bowel movements have any impact on whether or not they made it to class on time that day.
I just don't understand it. Why do people who so obviously have no idea how to allow for the basic needs of a child, or even, who relish in keeping them from those needs, decide to teach?
What a load of shit.
Gonna apologize right now for the ranting, but angry Waltzy is extremely fucking angry.

I think the worst thing is when they don't take bullying seriously, though. As a teacher, they're in a position of not just academic responsibility, but social responsibility.
We've yet to be proven incorrect. Fuckin' power-tripping, favouritism-showing, logic-hating teachers.
Your friend's sister should shit herself. That'll show 'em
Also, does this teacher have tenure? Have there been any other incidents involving this teacher? Are bathroom problems endemic in this school?
This teacher's always been a bitch but she gets to hang around since she's been there a while. I hope it stops.
This is ...interesting. I honestly don't remember toilet visits being such a source of drama when I was at school, although I suppose the potential to use them for smoking/time-wasting was probably just as great. I don't know if it's an American thing or a since-my-time thing.
Doesn't really say much for the school generally if there has to be that level of control over natural functions.
Some people just shouldn't be allowed to work with children.
We mostly just had to sign out and take the pass. And only one person could be out at a time.
They did end up locking bathrooms quite often, though, since smoking and drugs were such a big thing in my school.
The school also had hall monitors and security guards constantly patrolling the halls, and if you didn't have pass they would bring you back to your class and instantly get a detention at the very least.
Then there were some classes (such as study hall), that flat out would not let you go to the bathroom at all. You could get around that by saying you need to go to the nurse's office, though it usually only works once.
Worst comes to worst I guess you could also just go in a bush outside, but there were also security cameras everywhere outside so I don't know what would have happened if you actually did that. Could you actually get in trouble for going in a bush on school grounds?
There's something really weird about the obsession with controlling toilet behaviour here. It's like there's something Freudian going on...
It's also fair to say that in adult workplaces people have been known to use lavatory visits to waste time (I plead guilty), smoke and even take drugs (not me), but people would go nuts if this sort of level of control were imposed. Where employers do monitor that sort of thing, like some call centres and sweatshop factories in places like China, they're usually regarded as really bad employers for it. A bit of a double-standard, perhaps.
I could maybe understand the participation point thing, and one might say, "just go during another class/during break", but you can't make yourself do it earlier in some cases, and with "other classes" = history class or otherwise, classes with teachers that have equally way too rigid bathroom penalties, bottom line is you're going to take a hit somewhere for a very stupid reason.
