I find this to be totally reprehensible. I understand having regular bathroom breaks. But sometimes there are situations where students are sick or, in the case of middle school and high school girls, may be on the verge of a very embarassing accident. What happened to using common sense to deal with situations. I am glad that you handle this with some understanding.

I’m not a school teacher, but I understand the need for teachers to have control in their classrooms - but I don’t understand the need to be this controling.
