[QUOTE]An elementary school in Lebanon, Ore., has done away with a policy that required kids to pay to potty.Some parents said teachers at Cascades Elementary School were punishing their children for needing to use the restroom outside of their scheduled bathroom breaks.
Melissa Dalebout told ABC News' Portland affiliate KATU that her first-grade, daughter, Lily, had an accident at school while trying to hold in her urine.
In Lily's class, said Dalebout, children had to pay "Super Pro" bucks to use the bathroom outside their scheduled breaks, or they could hold on to their fake money to buy trinkets at the school store, which parents says gives their kids an incentive to hold it in.
"I just feel my children should not be punished for having to use the bathroom, even if they didn't take advantage of a recess break because they may not have been thinking of it. They're children," Dalebout told KATU.
"Super Pro" bucks isn't the only potty strategy at Cascades Elementary. If kids use the bathroom outside the three designated break times, they could lose two minutes of recess, reported KATU.
Brian and Sarah Palkki's 8-year-old daughter, Alexis, feared getting "clipped down" on her classroom's chart for using the bathroom too many times. The chart ranks students' behavior daily.
"She was crying one morning, because she felt her tummy to be a little sour," Sarah Palkki told KATU, "so she was thinking that she might have to use the restroom at school."[/QUOTE]
Just one of the things you'll never be able to control. Yeah kids say they have to go to the bathroom to get out of class but you can't just make them shit themselves if they really have to go.
That was a terrible policy, thankfully it was revoked. Schools should [B]never[/B] interfere with basic fucking bodily functions.
unfortunately something similar happened at my old high school when some retard vandalized the boys bathroom. Instead of taking the time to find the guy they instead closed off all of the boys bathrooms for a entire week. All the guys were forced to hold it the entire day or risk discovery using the girls or private teachers restrooms, which involved immediate detention mixed with zero tolerance thrown in your face.
What kind of chucklefuck comes up with a policy like that in the first place?
They're elementary students guys.
Horrible idea aside, who on earth named the elementary currency "Super Pro" bucks? Sounds like bad engrish.
i do like the idea of small scale economic gimmicks
school wide issued moneys are a great way to teach kids economics and responsibility without actually worrying about real money; plus, its a great incentive for kids to do well, and if its mandated throughout the entire school, (and not just a classroom) there is a much wider variety of treats and bonuses kids can earn for being good
though yeah, trying to implement said system when it comes to restrooms is a shit idea

Dudes at my school broke a sink off the wall last year. School suspended the culprits and that was that. I don't understand why you have to punish everyone for some stupid cunt who can't control themselves.
Similar thing with the bathroom next the cafeteria. Kids were going into the bathroom and smoking/putting in dip and putting it in the sink when they heard the teachers opening the door. Since it was in the sink, they couldn't pin it on any one person (normally ten+ dudes in there at any given time), and the problem continued. Then the head janitor got smart and just removed the door to the bathroom. You can't see in, because there is a brick wall that extends before turning into the room, and kids can't hear the door opening and ditch substances.
Isn't holding your waste in really bad for your organs?
[QUOTE=draugur;43564850]Isn't holding your waste in really bad for your organs?[/QUOTE]
yes and no
your not going to suffer any bodily issues at that age (when your organs are flexible and strong) by holding in fluids for the normal school day, (7~ hours) unless you have kind of severe bladder or bowel problems

my elementary school fucked up its ban of trading cards enough by saying "pokey man and youjee cards" (pokemon/yugioh) were no longer allowed
for super pro they probably just wanted something that sounded original and 'awesome cool' especially for the youngest students

We had the same thing with no doors on the bathroom entrances, just a brick wall. However, since our hallways were so compact ANY sound echoed through the school, so if you had to take a loud shit the whole school would hear.
It got better when we got our new school, however they wanted to be ~progressive~ and had private restrooms (with a lockable door) on the wings and one large restroom near the lunch room. However that was constantly locked because the janitors didn't want to clean it. Don't get me wrong it was great to have privacy, but you were screwed when a dozen people skipping class lock themselves in and you have no where to go or was too late to get in one during the 3 minute time you got to get to your next class.
Another side effect they didn't release was that they became popular shag spots for couples looking to skip class and get lucky at the same time. I kid you not the schools pregnancy rate went up 50% since those private restrooms were opened.
I have overactive kidneys and a small bladder, I need to piss every hour [I]at the minimum.[/I] Seriously, if I sit down and drink a single bottle of water, I will be up to the toilet every 10 minutes.
I have pissed on the floor in a classroom because a teacher wouldn't let me go, I have a medical sheet saying I have these problems.

These are the little papers.
This is a great idea, I was a benefactor in elementary school. The dollars we got weekly could be redeemed for prizes and extra credit, and it taught me bladder discipline. I can hold my urine for hours now, and that is what I did, and as a result I had exceptional grades.

Taking a piss in the middle of class isn't going to make your grades drop.

Did you read? I kept the money meant for restroom to spend on extra credit vouchers.

Kids with medical illnesses need to learn the lesson quickly. Suck up to somebody with power/authority to get proper treatment.

Which would mean anyone with bladder problems or illnesses that effects bathroom use has an unfair disadvantage.
story of my life at school:
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
"You're not going."
"Bye."
"[B]u dirty [U]TRUANT[/U][/B]"
[QUOTE=Corey_Faure;43565276]Which would mean anyone with bladder problems or illnesses that effects bathroom use has an unfair disadvantage.[/QUOTE]
They could be awarded extra dollars
Wow, even real life is getting microtransactions now.
I'd shit on the floor if I was young enough and had to go really badly, if I had to pay to go to the bathroom with some sort of currency bull
[QUOTE=BFG9000;43565370]They could be awarded extra dollars[/QUOTE]
or they can cut that stupid shit out of the equation entirely.
