One of the mums was angry because her daughter was busting in the car on the way home after I had made her wait all afternoon. Why didn't she go after school if she was that desperate? Nice to see teachers are so caring now days

No wonder so many kids turn into little s***s when teachers have that attitude.  Superfly The sun always shines in Catford 11 Dec 17 3.37pm |

Hmm, I've got one child in reception and one in year 2. I would say, from Junior school (year 3) they need to know to hold it, or go in their break. Maybe a talking to, but allowance, for e.g. the first term of year 3 and a straight refusal after that. I think you should certainly expect year 6 to be able able to handle this. You just need to make it clear that there are no toilet breaks during lessons and they will learn to go beforehand. Some exceptions, e.g. a medical condition, but if the child is e.g. temporarily ill, they shouldn't be in school. I would find this very harsh for my 4 year old in reception year, of course. Year 3 kids are not babies and are well capable of learning this. Secondary school=clear "no" from me, except of course for older girls suddenly caught out by their unwelcome monthly visitor. But in those cases, teachers should keep an eye out for the girls for whom this seems to be a weekly, not monthly occurrence!

You allow one kid, then others put their hands up and of course you have to let them go out of fairness. Soon what you'd planned to teach goes out of the window.

Like I said there is no reason 7-8 year olds (year 3s) can't either. They can hold their bladders for hours (even my 4 year old, actually). It's just a matter of training and teaching them to go before class. No way your average 8 year old who goes to the toilet right before class needs to go again until a couple of hours later.

Maybe there's a reason some children don't like using the toilets during breaks. I never used the toilets in breaks at school as was a quiet girl and there were always older girls in there which scared me. Obviously that isn't the case in all situations but that's why I can't see problems with it. Even now I hate using toilets when others are in there.

I would tell them to go anyway. Not having my kid piss themselves because of some busy t***'s rule.

OK, well then maybe exclude them from the rest of the lesson and have them catch up on the work, to avoid disrupting their classmate's education? Maybe supervised e.g. in a dining hall. It must be impossible to teach a class of 30, when there's kids wondering in and out throughout the lesson. And you can't exactly hold up the lesson waiting for each pupil/student to return.
