Should Teachers Be Aloud To Say "no" To Using The Bathroom

       If you go to college, you'll see in every room students just get up and leave class to use the bathroom. If you have meetings or jobs, you have to dismiss yourself and go. So why in school do you have to ask? And what happens when they say no? There could be many different excuses your teacher gives you like, “ You went yesterday”, “You both cant go”, “you just came from lunch”, “ you had before class”, or even just “cause I said no”. All of these “excuses” are not important. If someone has to go to the bathroom they can't control that. 

       There are kids that try and go at the same time and mess around but even then, the teacher could have them go at different times. Or if there is already a kid in the bathroom, ask them to wait till they get back.  Saying no and asking a student to wait are two different things. If a teacher is in the middle of teaching they could ask you to wait till they're finished. When they straight up say no, you can't go at all. If a teacher says no and makes the child sit in class, the child could get a UTI by holding it in for so long. UTIs occur when bacteria makes their way into the urinary tract. That bacteria will sit and multiply and cause a very painful UTI. 

 

       In my opinion, I think teachers should not be allowed to say no. Every student has the right to be able to go to the bathroom when they need to. I don't think there's really a  good reason for a teacher to straight up say no. It's something you can't control and will get painful if it's not fixed in a certain amount of time. I also think its important for girls on their cyces to be able to use the bathroom freely. 

 

Do you think teachers should be aloud to say no? If so why?

Can you think  of any good reasons a tecaher should say no?

    • I disagree, I think if the kids that mess around a little still needed to use the bathroom, then it still counts as going to the bathroom. I do see where your coming from but I think if they abuse it to much they could just have a talk with that period teacher about it. 

  • In my opinion, teachers should not be allowed to tell a student they can't use the restroom.  Especially if you are a lady and it's that time of the month. Teachers often say "why didn't you do it during periods?" Most teachers want you to come into class and drop off your bag and go. But if you don't tell your teacher you are going some will count you tardy.

    • I agree. I think 3 minutes is not even enough time to go to the bathroom and get to class so asking in class should be understandable. A lot of teacher count you tardy if you dont tell them or arent physically in the room. 

  • I don't think teachers should be allowed to say no unless you've gone to the bathroom multiple times in that class period. Saying, "You gotta wait till the last person comes back then you can go." is a good example of not saying no. But just saying no and then saying because I said so isn't a good reason.

  • I  don't think teachers should be allowed to say no to students who have to use the restroom in most cases. Especially if you are a girl and it is that time of the month. In some cases, I think teachers should be able to say no if its the same people going to the restroom every day. 

  • I think that yes the teachers should have the choice to say yes or no, but I dont think they can just say yes and no to who every they won't, I think they need to be fare with it. I think that a teacher can say no to you if you use the bathroom every day at the same time.

    • I agree that teachers cant be biased with it. However I disagree with teacher being able to say no. I think if the student is going everyday at that time its for a good reason. I also think teachers can ask them to wait, not just say no. 

  • I do not think teachers should be allowed to say no to students asking to use the restroom because if the teacher says no, that student will not be able to focus at all for the rest of class. There isn't enough time between classes to use the restroom so I can not think of any reason a teacher should not allow a student to use the restroom.

     

  • I personally belive that teachers should not be able to say no to students when they need to go because like you said a big problem that can occure is a UTI which like you said can be very painfull and think about it if a student has a accident then they will be emparased for the rest of the year by other students.

  • I think that it is ok for teachers to say no because  if student are constantly asking than leaving for long amounts of time it takes away from their learning time. If the student is taking a test is an ok time for a teacher to say no because they are worried that they might find a way to get the answers.
