This math teacher’s pee policy doesn’t work.
A California teacher has been accused of cruelty after giving bonus points to students who don’t take bathroom breaks during class.
Angry parents of one of teacher’s students leaked bizarre bathroom rule in a post that’s making waves 16 million views on X.
“My daughter’s math teacher has a rule that they only get one bathroom pass per week, and, if they don’t use it, they get academic extra credit,” fumed the mother named Sita, whose daughter was with the unidentified teacher. Is in the class of.
“I’m angry,” the mother continued, without specifying her daughter’s age. “But my daughter is upset that I want to email the teacher and CC the principal. Am I wrong here?”
This bizarre test of Vesic’s perseverance did not sit well with X viewers, who considered it gross and inhumane.
“Asking permission to use the bathroom is barbaric,” One critic got angry.
“this is outrageous. Not fit for teacher service,” announced another.
A the third one saw: “Some children may have medical conditions that make it seem this policy would be inappropriate for them.”
One alleged teacher claimed that extra credit should be reserved for those with steel minds, not those with steel bladders.
“I am a high school teacher. This is wrong. “This is immoral, unethical, discriminatory and extremely worrying.” He has written. “Grades should be decided solely on academic ability (not behavior). “I really can’t believe this is happening in the 21st century.”
However, some commentators supported the pee break policy, claiming that it was intended to discourage students from using the bathroom as an excuse to hang out with each other.
“I can see that both sides have worked in pre-school,” A former teacher argued“We had kids who loved the bathroom. In junior high it’s a way to meet your friends during class time.”
“It was the norm in my school,” others argued“The purpose of this is to prevent students from using bathroom breaks to socialize. Teachers who did not implement this had more disruptions in their classes. It’s a classroom management tool.”
Sita too Shared screenshots of alleged messages From teachers who argued that the policy was not cruel because extra credit was not mandatory.
One of the messages read, “Extra credit is exactly that: extra.” “That bathroom rule isn’t hurting anyone’s grades because no one should have to depend on a few points to make a grade. Try becoming a teacher for a day and move on [with] A better solution for managing frequent bathroom abusers.”
Sita did not disclose whether she had emailed the concerned mathematics teacher or school administration officials on this issue.
