    I am sorry but as a teacher I don't believe the teacher made that comment. With regards to going to the toilet she should have gone at lunch. As a year 4 teacher I don't allow toilet breaks in lesson time.

    How terrible!!!!

    I would hate to think of my year 6 going to big school in sept needing the loo and not being able to go. I understand the fact that you may not want disruptions but surely it would be more distracting to have to wait.

    Sorry but when I need to go I need to go. I am an adult and I can not predict if I will need the loo in the next 2 hours.

    Yes school is a place of education respect AND TOLERANCE.

    Like I said if they have their period they can bring a note from home

    You think every time a girl is on their period, they should bring in a note from home excusing them to go to the toilet?

    Isn't this a little embarrassing for an 11 year old to have to hand to possibly a male teacher?

    Sorry, when did schools become prisons. If that were me in my day I would be like "!!!! you i need the bog, I am going", from about eight.

    But of course school is all about conformisam and remembering !!!! these days and not about learning.

    You had me with the like prisons. Schools should be a place of education learning, exploring and respecting each other.

    BUT you lost me on conforming and remembering. What ????

    Or perhaps every time they are on their period they could be beaten with a stick! . Honestly a letter from home????? A period is a natural part of life it is not a disability.

    p.S omg That report is horrific!!!! Wearing an arm band ????

    I teach year 4 so they are 8 and 9, so the period excuse is rare. They know the rules go at break or wait during lesson, it is up to them to make the right choice

    Okay, that's fine for your class. But we are talking about an 11 year old in year 6 and you said for them to bring a note in?

    Different age though.


    To the OP:
    So are you leaving it at that or do you plan to take it further?



    And also by a newbie! :cool:

    Im sure the teacher will know the girl well by now at the end if the school year. She'll have made a judgement on whether the girl,is trying it on or not.

    Btw: if she was on her period she could have gone quietly to the teacher and whispered to her. Junior school is rarely staff holding forth and pupils sitting in silence.

    Ahhh some real d!jà vu here. There's even the teacher who joined MSE today and is using a full name while she tells us about her policy on no toilet breaks...

    Do you think periods always start at specific times?

    Have you never started during the day?
