“[A]fter they ask you twice, you should realize that something is going on.”
Once in grade school I wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom when I really needed to. I begged. I cried. Finally, I wet myself in class.
Twenty-five years later I find out I’ve got three kidneys.
Yes, a lot of times kids are up to some nonsense, but a lot of times they’re not. Don’t assume the former. And humiliation is never the proper response to any of it.

  3 Kidneys? that’s a thing? Does it affect urination? I’m legitimately curious as I’ve never heard of it before.

  Supernumerary kidneys are a thing according to the National Kidney Foundation:
  Three kidneys are relatively uncommon. It usually is only discovered by accident as it rarely causes symptoms. It usually means that one of the kidneys were split into two prior to birth. It can be associated with infections and kidney stones, but usually causes no symptoms at all.

This was not his during the day school teacher and not a “real” teacher. Not that any adult should treat a child this way, but I think for clarity sake for some reason people keep omitting this fact and skipping right over it and I for one think its an important distinction.
There is so much teacher bashing on the original thread. The mother of this child first posted her story in a group I am in. She specifically said Ms Evelyn of LA Best did this. LA Best is an AFTERSCHOOL program that any joe blow can apply to and work at. There are no teacher “requirements” to work there. Again common sense should dictate not to treat kids like this, but this is not a teacher teacher like i see everyone bashing (not on here, elsewhere)

  I’m not entirely clear what your point is here. Teachers are not all special angels that would never do such a thing -this is far from the first time I’ve heard this story.
  Do they call Ms. Evelyn a teacher? Is she employed by the school? If the answer to both of those are yes, then what is the useful distinction you are trying to draw?

  Did it happen at the school? By an authority figure? During a class?

This hurts my heart. My son is 6 and still occasionally wets himself as he’s a bit of a late bloomer and he also just gets so into whatever he’s doing that he ignores the signals from his body. Recently after a spate of wetting himself at school I had a talk with his teacher about letting him go to the restroom whenever he asks. Turns out she would penalize kids asking to go during classtime by making them give back tickets that they earn for good behavior. She stopped that (for my kid, at least), and bingo, no more accidents at school.
I get that somewhere teachers have to draw a line about kids just skiving off instead of going during recess, but teachers should also have some goddamn common sense and some compassion. Some teachers/adults seem to assume that little kids (cough kids of color cough) are just like adults and deliberately make choices — like going to the bathroom during class — to be disruptive or disrespectful. That poor boy. And he’s EIGHT, right at the cusp of pre-adolescence where everything about your body and your gender is super embarrassing and sensitive. I hope his mom makes that teacher — and the administration — sorry they were ever born.

  I had a similar experience with my nephew at about age 7 that at the time brought me to tears thinking about it. Having to undergo the humiliating experience of wetting himself in class around classmates he was already being bullied by, simply because the teacher didn’t have any other empathetic responses or strategies to handle excessive bathroom requests. So many pedagogical choices she could’ve made to start thinking about healthier and non-traumatic interventions for her students like my nephew. But they always default to the action that screams “I’m too tired and burned out to think of a more empathetic strategy.”

  I have interstitial cystitis, a disease which causes sores and scar tissue in the urinary bladder. I had symptoms as a kid, and was going 18x a day in junior high...

The teacher should be fired because it’s child abuse, but we’ll be lucky they are disciplined.

I am absolutely appalled by this on EVERY LEVEL!!!! What I would say to the teacher “what if this were your child, how would you feel? Children are fragile. I’ll repeat, children are FRAGILE. This will live in this youngster’s memory for the rest of his days. I know. I’m living proof of this horrific crap! Im 57. I’m hurt for him. But, I’m so very angry!!! Something needs to be done to the teacher who is responsible for this. This is entirely humiliating. The world, and some of its inhabitants need to go somewhere pray and and beg for forgiveness.

Thats disgusting, you can tell when a kid really needs to go ... let them go. My school (30 ish years ago) had the same policy but my ma said just leave and dont ask if you have to really go.

  I’m your generation and I don’t remember it being like that at all for my school. I remember we would ask for permission, put a clothespin on our name on the list by the door and and take one of the 2 passes. Then again, I was usually had one of the top 2 or 3 grades in the class so my teacher may not have been worried about me.
  Are there any teachers out there who can explain this no bathroom thing or is this just a really really horrible teacher?

  I’m your generation too and I was without question the top of my elementary school classes. One teacher haaaaaaated me and never, ever let me use the bathroom. Even when my tooth came out and I had blood dripping from my mouth.
  Part of it is burnout. Part of it is the whole respect/respect thing (if you don’t treat me like an authority figure I won’t treat you like a person). I was a little angel in class and it didn’t matter. She decided that quiet and well behaved meant sneaky and that was it.

“Sometimes we don’t let them use the bathroom because they want to all the time,” Mitchell told KCAL. “[A]fter they ask you twice, you should realize that something is going on.”
Obviously, he wasn’t faking though.

That poor kid. I get that teachers must get frustrated when kids use the bathroom as a means to escape lessons, but come on. You can’t police a little kid’s bladder like that. You don’t know how frequently a kid does or doesn’t need to go.

My 6 yr old niece told me how this boy in her class shit himself in the classroom because the teacher refused to let him go to the restroom. This happened in a charter school in a “progressive” city.
