Kenneth, can I take a dump in your bin please ? It would need to be a very big bin, because I've just come out of double maths. By the way AC/DC are very good, are you absolutely sure they are Australian ? 
Are kids of today getting worse? Page 3
Alas, I recall only too well those wretched English slums with their chamberpots and primitive privies. I can only advise you to eat three healthy meals a day, avoid the sedentary lifestyle and abstain from processed rubbish. And carve statues of Kenny Rogers from the surplus lard.
AC/DC could be claimed by a number of nations. Founding brothers were born in Scotland. Longest-serving lead singer from Durham. His replacement an American.
Anyway, why would you shit in a bin? Are you mental?
Quote: Lauren Smith @ 26th October 2017, 8:31 AMAs for the toilet, teachers cannot just stroll out when they need to wee.
I'm quite certain that you would do whatever was necessary if you were moments away from shitting your pants, because nothing would be more embarrassing and stressful than soiling yourself in front of your students and co-workers. In this era it's almost certain that the incident would be captured on video and uploaded to YouTube, so perhaps you could gain fame and fortune as the star of 'Teacher sh1ts self in front of class OMG!!1!!.'

Disregarding the ridiculous comparison of life-and-death situations with a vindictive teacher and her 6-year-old students, I'll just point out that a good friend of mine is a neurosurgeon and he frequently finds himself performing lifesaving surgeries of 8 hours or more. I once asked him how he'd deal with a urinary crisis during a procedure and he said, "I'll piss in the garbage can if I have to." And that brings us back to our teacher's original complaint about the 6-year-old who threatened to piss in her bin. 
Quote: Kenneth @ 24th October 2017, 3:46 PMBai Jove, this is ropey grammar for a teacher.
... I was sworn at (not: I was swore at)
... I wouldn't let her go to the toilet (not: I wouldn't let them go to the toilet. Unless two or more had requested permission)To avoid the passive construction, bad grammar and ambiguity over how many kids had wanted to go to the toilet:
I teach Year 2 and last week a student swore at me and a girl threatened to pee in my bin after I wouldn't allow her to go to the toilet.Anyway, what was the swear word(s)?
I thought exactly the same.
Can't be arsed to read it all but is she really qualified to teach?
Quote: Kenneth @ 26th October 2017, 3:17 AMPshh. It was a school assembly. They are invariably such fiddle-faddle that there is nothing worth concentrating on. Teaching a kid to learn to use correct times for toilet breaks is neither cruel nor draconian. Maybe commenting on posts by frustrated teachers isn't for you.
I think you're missing the point with that statement. It's not ok to prevent a child from going to the toilet for that length of time. Maybe 10 minutes or 20 minutes if a break or hometime is approaching but more than an hour? That's disgraceful and a form of bullying. The OP even sounds like they derive pleasure from it. Children are not robots and can't be conditioned to use the toilets at specific times and any school that thinks they should needs a very close inspection by Ofsted.
It's also odd that a teacher would join a comedy forum to share this as their first post using poor grammar and not post anywhere else here. Not even an introduction.

False equivalence, much? I'll just smugly point out that a good friend of mine is God (we often drink home-brewed boutique beers together and compare gun sizes) and he frequently finds himself spending millennia doing deity stuff. I once asked him how he'd cope if he needed to pee while creating a universe and he said, "I don't pee." And that brings us back to doe, a deer, a female deer. Which we shot, because we love guns and voted for Trump because we worship the pussy grabber.

She had her chance to have a wee, if she didn't want to sit with her legs crossed she should have taken it.
I'll say this one last time because I think you're a troll and then I'm out of this thread, but:
MAYBE SHE DIDN'T *NEED* A DAMN WEE AT PLAYTIME!
I seem to remember going to school and never needing the toilet between breaks.
But if anyone did, they were allowed to go - and timed.
Most went for a crafty fag - even at the age of 11. (sorry DaButt - but you know what fag means here)
Oh, and i'll add. My daughter is an English teacher and she tells me regularly that now, the pupils have all the power.
And they know they have the power and abuse it.
She teaches her subject and if they listen they listen, if they don't they don't.
She cannot discipline them because they will not be disciplined.
And furthermore she also tells me some poor children (both meanings of poor) smell, are dirty and undernourished with permanent head lice. I was shocked that some kids still have to live like that.

This should not happen in the UK, but they may have parents that lack empathy and prefer to spend their money and time on themselves. Believe it or not, you also get teachers that lack empathy and fail to understand what a 6 year old child's needs are. If a child wets themselves or needs the toilet a lot, they may have a medical condition or they may be anxious about something. Either way it is absolutely not something you should bully or shame them with. Quiet the opposite, I would be asking why are so many anxious children in my class. But if you lack empathy, you normally project the problem back on your students. Lauren , if you are a teacher, please stop. You do not seem to understand the needs or actions of young children.
If my child's teacher (when they were at primary school) made them sit and squirm in their chairs all afternoon as she was too much of a sadist to let them go to the loo I would ensure she wasn't a practicing f....ing teacher any longer. Maybe the mods could trace this spiteful trolls's IP address??

Is it a policy at your school or just something you do? Is your headteacher aware and do they aproove? Why did you choose a comedy forum to post about your unruly pupils? Where is the connection?
Do you accept that preventing someone especially a child from using the toilet could be physically and psychologically damaging?
If this is all true (and I have my doubts) remember that kids talk to their parents and it could only be a matter of time before you're struck off. Any good teacher would let pupils go to the toilet when they ask and if it's becoming a recurring problem you raise the issue with your head teacher and their parents because that is the only way to resolve the problem. That would be the sensible process and you don't go on a powertrip with a child because that is pathetic.
Well that's at least two forums full of people who've told you you're practically a child abuser, Lauren. Get the picture about who's actually in the wrong, yet?

Nice detective work, Aaron. Just a sad troll, it would seem.
If they ever make trolling a crime, perhaps the cops could make sure that he/she only gets to use the toilet every 2 or 3 days.
