Not going to let a child who believes shouting I'm on my rag to an authority figure go to the toilet.You mean you get 1 side of it
Take the OP;
Op's side = the children I teach are horrible disgusting brats.
Children's side = our teacher is a demonic tyrant who won't even let us go to the loo when we are on the 'rag' (granted this isn't the language I'd expect from a 10 year old - but we only have the OP's word this wa what was said)
I do hope your other half deals with the kids in the way Lakeland does and not like the OP.
In all honesty though we are most likely debating a troll thread!
Had she explained sensibly, something along the lines of "Miss please I need to go it is a girls problem" I would have made an exception.
Yes these hurt, if you wasn't paying attention. Can you imagine some brat on his phone under the take, crack ...... Board rubber on the side of the head...lol

A genuine LOL at the obvious younger generation parents who say kids shouldn't go to toilet during lesson time
I'm 41 so I did Primary and High School in the early 80's to early 90's and I never remember it being allowed in any one of the many schools I went to (moved a lot due to dads job) and even though I was an absolute terror to my parents (always breaking things) I always respected my teachers and even now I can't think of a "bad" experience with them. In fact there's about 4-5 teachers (mainly high school) that stick in my mind even today and I know they helped shape me a bit as a kid.
Also when I see parents saying "my child MUST pee or else" I look at the parents ages and very few seem to be 40+, the vast majority seem to be 25-35 and seem to have a very different idea of what "parenting" is compared to myself which is much more "I always want to be friends with my child" rather than my thought of "I want to be a parent to my child" which are two very different things.
I'm also in my early 40s and although i think kids should be taught to never need the loo in class, they should be allowed if they ask. My main reason for this is because I remember a kid (no not me haha) in primary school who they wouldn't let go to the toilet and he ended up leaving a puddle on the floor. He was bullied about this from then on, including through secondary school and 6th form. Not being allowed to use the loo basically ruined over 10 years of his life, I feel really guilty about the way he was treated now that I'm a father of two boys and I look back.
