Still Waters Posted April 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Children are still wearing nappies in class after the age of five in hundreds of schools across the country, a Sky News investigation has found. Teachers have reported pupils as old as 15 who have no medical conditions or developmental issues, but who are unable to use the toilet on their own. https://uk.news.yaho...39.html#Tqo3efZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted April 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2014 What, this is crazy. Teach those kids to go to the bathroom. Wouldn't want to be sitting next to them in class. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Ford Posted April 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2014 WTF! Some parents should have to pass a test and be required to have a license before being allowed kids. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waif Posted April 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2014 This blows my mind. How... I just... Why aren't their parents teaching them this stuff? Whoever they are, they shouldn't be allowed to have kids ever again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplos Posted April 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sorry, if you are 15 and you can't go to the bathroom on your own, you have developmental issues no matter what some doctor says. I know one woman whose son simply would not train before 5 years old. She tried everything consistently. He had no developmental delays diagnosed or anything. But.. that is the absolute last possible age anyone should ever have issues. If you reach school age wearing diapers, there is a problem. For kids with developmental disorders or mental illnesses, of course things can be quite different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orcseeker Posted April 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Having seen a boy's toilet at a school I mist disagree with you on that Psyche... I think there was p*** everywhere except the latrine. Back in the day the things I've seen and heard go on in my primary school and high school males bathroom... Someone defecated in the soap dispenser, that was some unpleasant smelling soap indeed. And of course everyone's had that one kid who painted the walls with faeces. Vomit all over the floor despite there being a toilet right there. Just always filth everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first classroom as a teacher was just up from the boys toilet, it stunk to high heavens in the summer. I swear the smell had seeped into the walls and even if no one had been in there that unholy funk would still be there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud the mackem Posted May 1, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The parents of children who are in this position should be made to account for the childs actions, its not the kids fault . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafterman Posted May 1, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 1, 2014 My daughter stars kindergarten in the fall (age 5) and it's a requirement that the child is fully potty trained. If not, they can't start school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybill Posted May 1, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wow, I just had a caffiene-induced mental picture of a gangster-wannabe with his pants hanging down and his Hello Kitty nappies showing. It's a brave new world we're living in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
