I don't see why by year 6 children shouldn't be able to wee,and change their pad during breaktime, and hang on in lessons.

You seem to have ignored the following

She also has a phobia of toilets after finding her nan dead when she was 3. Still as long as you're happy

I'm on the fence on this discussion but as mentioned there are no guide lines to how long someone or kid can hold on. each person is different.
So , an hour, or hours or whatever length of time seems irrelevant

Are you saying children should be allowed on demand then?

No, I'm not really saying anything.
Just pointing out facts.
However, I do believe its at the discretion of the teacher, they usually know if they are faking it or not.
I know I did it as a kid,and teachers back in my day let me go.

All I know is, that missing a couple or more minutes of a lesson never did me any harm or affect my intellect.

It's hardly a new thing. You couldn't go for a jimmy during class when I was school 13 years ago* unless there was a stunningly decent reason (like for example Y Ddraig Goch's unfortunate daughter. But then I would assume her teachers are all aware of her phobia)

Don't quite understand all the faux outrage

*might be a porky

I've gone during teaching time once in 2 years. Usually I hold it as there is no one to cover.

The toilets are just outside my class, so the kids can go as soon as break arrives, if they don't take that chance because they are too busy playing, tough luck.

So you don't "have to go at break" then, you try to.
Which is the same as it should be for kids at Primary school.

Not all primary school kids are fully aware of consequence and risk.

 


Optimistic as ever

You are either a troll or in the wrong profession

There is a difference between a child needing to go "occaisionally" and a child who is being disruptive. Also a difference between boys and girls, one if I am honest, I had never really considered until I had a daughter.

Young girls when they start their periods are incredibly irregular and very difficult to predict in terms of both frequency and how heavy.

That should qualify as an exception. That's a pretty horrible and traumatic experience for such a young child to experience. Poor kid.

I guess its down to the teachers intuition and feel for whether it genuine need, or just disruption - as nick says, most teachers are pretty savy.

I can't remember what the rules were when I was a nipper. Although I do remember some poor kid, in shorts, absolutely shatting himself during art class. All down the legs and everything.

Poor f**ker died about six weeks later (unrelated) to the incident.

There's no manual for being a parent. A lot of it is down to subjective decisions.
But out of all the parents of the kids in your class, and the majority of people on here you are the one of the only one with a professional qualification for the education of children, including looking after their welfare.

Parents would do well to remember that, but I guess mumsnet knows best.

Go with your own intuition.

You are of course correct. Someone who quite posssibly has spent only a year teacher training and may not have children of their own will know so much more about a class of 30 individual children
