HeliX Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 30 minutes ago, Cambon said: It is also a result of feral parents bringing up feral kids. Going to the toilet during lessons is unnecessary and should be banned, except in emergency circumstances. I very much doubt the kids will wet themselves. The social embarrassment would be too much. A kid in my year wet himself because the teacher wouldn't let him go to the toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet all the other kids wet themselves laughing. At my school is was very rare for any pupil to go to the loo in class even when it was a double lesson. These kids are literally taking the piss out of the teachers. I support the head. 100% 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your general opinion then? You are allowed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Due to work I am in high schools fairly regularly and the behaviour I see is deplorable. No amount of money would ever make me want to be a teacher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the schools (CRHS I think?) confiscate any phone taken out during a lesson and don't return it until the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 They almost need a seperate school building where suspended children can be sent temporarily, with an emphasis on discipline and supervision. A month or two there may curb disruptive influences? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I heard, from my daughter who most recently went there, that there aren't enough toilets for all that need to go during break, and kids would routinely be late back for lessons as they were waiting to be able to go. Might be some truth in that, but there's undoubtedly truth in the kids using toilet breaks to 'mess about' Back in the day (and I was a good boy remember) we had a substitute teacher who just couldn't control the class. We came up with a scheme to disrupt the lesson by all wanting to go to the toilet. Repeatedly. At one point she said "Only 6 of you to go at one time". It was hilarious. We'd have never got away with it with any of the regular teachers. Apart from that it was a rare event for anyone to need the toilet during lessons.

Well, we only have your word for that - and your story rather mitigates against it! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The back story is that some toilets are being locked during break time and some of the kids cannot get to use them. Most children can hang on for 40 minutes or even longer but there are always the odd ones who can’t. To refuse a child that wants to go is really bad and this draconian action will backfire. Daffy was in Malta when this news broke she also missed the tiles saga in the NSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Dam she was lucky or planned well ahead. Whats with the honorable Daffy, no one else used it, the amount of honour in Tynwald could be counted on the back of a postage stamp if I could afford one.

Not unless she stayed on later for a holiday. The Conference was 6-9 March, she should have been back all last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
