i'm sure many people can relate to teachers and bathroom permissions!
even prisoners get to go to the bathroom lol. some teachers are just weird
Some teachers like their power trip.
Not Amazon warehouse employees, they're tracked and rely on Gatorade bottles.
oh yeah that's bullshit too.
Why would a teacher ban students from going to the bathroom? That's a normal bodily function. What do they expect the kid to do?
As a teacher, I would always let kids go. Although depending on the situation, I might say "wait a minute until -other student - comes back" or "just listen to this instruction first so you know what to do". You definitely get to know kids who ask to leave to get out of work, but rather than stopping them going, you need to work out why they are avoiding the work in the first place. Often it's anxiety about the work being too hard, or they just need a sensory break because classrooms can be overwhelming. In those cases, it's actually not that helpful to force them to stay in the situation anyway.
I wish more teachers were like you.
You are a true gem!
There are a lot of bad teachers unfortunately
We used to look up to our teachers as role models. It is sad what the education system has become.
Hold it apparently. Because kindergarten kids have that much self control
That kid is brilliant. I'd be willing to bet that he's a very successful adult now.
One day he'll credit his kindergarten teacher for his skill at navigating bullshit and finding ways round it.
I mean, I could maybe understand the bathroom "bans" if you're dealing with older kids (depends on the situation obviously) ... But on kindergarten?
Yeah that's just a recipe for disaster.
Wait, in kindergarten you guys had workbooks already?
Maybe "workbooks" was the wrong term. We had pages with the alphabet, "C is for cat" with a cat for you to color, etc.
