Children are given time to use the restroom. KIds should not require extra time during class to do so unless there is a medical reason the teacher has been told about. Some kids will pee in their pants on purpose to try and challenge the teachers authority.
Good god it's a seven year old. What sick **** makes them pay to use the bathroom.
A child who needs to go to the toilet should be allowed to go to the bathroom for a break.
Always.
No. The break you call it is what too many of the kids would see it as. A child in an emergency should be allowed to use the restroom but it is very, very, very disruptive to the classroom environment to have kids revolving in and out of a classroom all day. Experienced teachers know what the pee-pee dance looks like and knows to keep an eye out for it. No teacher ever wants a child to wet themselves. Most because the whole reason they went into teaching was because they love children and wetting themselves would devastate a child. Even ones that people claim don't seem to like kids hardly want to deal with the sanitary issues of having someone pee on the desk and floor. Teachers don't refuse bathroom visits to be cruel, they do it to maintain a learning environment.

What hall monitor? Schools don't have an extra $15,0000 - $20,000 a year to let kids go to the bathroom.

If that was my kid, that teacher would have some explaining to do.
I have an explanation for you. She has been teaching four months. And it is not child abuse, it was a very unfortunate mistake.
So the teacher gets blamed when the kid has an accident, the teacher get blamed when a kid goofs off and goes to the bathroom, the nurse, to the water fountain, etc every hour and isn't passing the state tests, the teacher gets blamed for letting kids go to the bathroom and then the kid trips and falls down, basically the teacher gets blamed no matter what.

Apparently none of the posters ever made a mistake when they were starting out in their careers. Or in raising their children. Must be nice to be perfect. My son peed on himself once in public because when he said he had to go, I asked if he could hold it and assumed he knew what it meant because I didn't want to get out of the line i'd been standing in for ten minutes. After that whenever he says he has to go, we go.
While unfortunate, the fact is that there are three scheduled bathroom trips during the day.
Yes, exceptions may need to be made, but, it would be totally unproductive if every kid could go to the bathroom whenever. It may sound harsh, but, I believe that even kids this age can and should learn to control themselves particularly if a strict schedule is kept every single day.
Otherwise, the teacher will spend the better part of her day monitoring bathroom visits.
If the kid has a problem with going to the bathroom while others are in the bathroom, or some other toileting issue, then that is something that needs to be discussed and worked out.
But, I see nothing wrong with the teacher's attempts to control her classroom, maintain order and facilitate uninterrupted learning.
You seem to reflect a fairly common attitude here ... and guess what? It's brain dead idiocy, lacking an iota of common sense. 2nd grade? 7 years old? This is a freaking baby for Christ Sake!!! What the hell is wrong with you people anyways? Have you lost your god damned minds? There is no such thing as a one size fits all bathroom solution and time schedule, particularly for small children. That you see nothing wrong with "you will pee at 11:00 sharp, or else, soil yourself" tells me that you shouldn't even be allowed around pets, much less be around children.
The lot of you people who want to suggest that a 7 year old needs to think ahead and better plan their calls of nature according to some nitwit's idea of classroom order, don't possess the mental capacity to challenge a 7 year old.

No .. apparently, we just have a different idea about the definition of "mistake". A mistake would be a 7 year old accidentally peeing their pants, when they could have raised their hand, and allowed to go to a restroom. That would be a "mistake". However, when a supposed "adult" refuses a 7 year old child's request to use the restroom results in the poor child soiling themselves ... that is not a "mistake" ... it's either brain dead stupidity or callous disregard for the basic comfort of the children under this person's care and supervision. Either case brings into serious question the qualification and appropriateness of trusting them with such responsibility.
Nope .. nothing remotely close to the truth, or the topic at hand. It's cruel to refuse anyone a restroom break ... dastardly when refusing a small child.
What a twisted freaking world you people live in .... Oh my, we have government standards and government tests to pass .... we have to maintain classroom order ....
So, any of you geniuses ever stop to consider just how much learning a child can focus on, with their legs crossed .. their back teeth floating ... and their bladders emptying in their damned clothing?
Planet dumb-dumb ... that's what planet earth has inexplicably become.

That's not an explanation .. that's an excuse. And a poor one too .... I'm a guy ... I'm not a teacher ... and yet I have the damned common sense to understand that small children cannot be held to the same standard of conduct older children can be ... and PARTICULARLY when it comes to bathroom things. Small children ... small bladders ... get it? No, I guess you don't, and neither did the teacher apparently.
This type of humiliation in front of the other children can cause some lasting psychological trauma ... it's really quite inexcusable ... the teacher should know better, and so should the rest of you excuse makers.

Lost our minds? You are the one saying a 7 year old is a baby when hes not! Kid should have behaved better and thought about that beforehand. The child isnt special...all children all the same. This little my special snowflake crap needs to end now seriously.
