      I teach year 6. I don't let children go to the toilet during lessons. Would you have a problem with this rule for your child.

      So you are happy to let them wet themselves or even worse?

      They are 10 and 11 they won't wet themselves. If they have a note from the doctor about a medical problem fine. They have breaktimes to use the toilet.

      They will soon be in secondary school. They should be able to manage their toilet needs at breaktimes.

      Well - you're the boss and you make the laws in the classroom. My teachers in primary school weren't afraid to lay the law down in terms of when or when not to go to the toilet. Didn't do me any harm.

      And look at me now - I piss myself regularly. (joking)

      If they need the toilet that should be able to go

      I've been leading a full day work course today. As I said to them if they need to go then go

      It's a basic human need

      Agree.

      I let my staff go to the toilet if they need to as long as we're quiet.

      Can't imagine telling a primary school kid they can't go to the toilet.

      Yes I do.

      My child suffered like this at about that age and it massively impacted his confidence.

      Human beings go to the toilet when they need to go not when someone else says it’s ok.

      To do otherwise is de-civilising.

      I’m afraid you’ve got that one wrong. Utterly wrong.

      I remind them to go at break. There are never more than a couple hours between breaks.

      I remind my staff to go on their break as well.

      Guess what?

      They forget or don't need to go then. So I let them go if they need to.

      They are fine with the rule. Like I say 10 and 11 year olds should be capable of holding a wee until their break.

      I had one of the parents in last week because her daughter was bursting on the way home. She asked 5 minutes after lunch and why not go before her journey home if so desperate?

      They're obviously not fine about it if you have parents complaining.

      Listen, you do what you feel is right but I just think it's harsh.

      Feels like you’ve asked for feedback Jemma but really wanted validation......?

      Out of interest can I ask if you’re a parent as well as a teacher? That might change your perspective.

      Anyways - good luck in your career the world needs quality teachers. I hope you’re one the “good guys” 😉

      No not a parent. What difference does that make?

      Do you think it is acceptable for children to be leaving for the toilet 5 minutes after lunch?

      If they need to go yes.

      Obviously I'd explain to them in future to try and go and lunch time but if they need to go they need to go.

      I have never had a child wet themselves.

      Parents wouldn't be best pleased if I left for the loo during lessons would they?
