On paper I get the spirit of what he means, but the students that are going to abuse bathroom passes aren't going to pay attention regardless. Let folk go piss and shit stop playing potty patrol

u/RecentClothes2654 1d ago

Honestly? I let those kids go so long as I write them a pass. Class tends to much more smooth and productive when they aren't around anyways.

u/rapshepard 1d ago

Aye that logic tracks. Get the distraction out and focus on those ready to learn or at least be quiet lol

u/Certain-Injury-3674 2d ago

Thissss !! , I agree with the spirit & the fact that they need the education & time . Plus some kids will abuse the system however having to disclose why I need extra time in the bathroom (Especially as a woman) or if the children just need to pee is pushy too far .

Sorta right sentiment - Wrong Execution

u/rapshepard 1d ago

Yeah just let folk use the bathroom in good faith. It should mostly be fine

u/fallout_zelda 2d ago

I agree with you. You can't save every student. Some are just doomed from the beginning and will never give a fuck. If they want to waste their education on silly shit... They will deal with the consequences once they're 18, unemployed with zero education.

u/rapshepard 1d ago

Definitely can't save all of them. Just try and leave the rest to them

u/PraireGentleman 16h ago

It’s 15 minutes. The kids abusing the bathroom passes are doing it to go vape in the bathrooms. They’re fine in class, they just use the system for their substance abuse

Teachers are already in positions where they can’t enforce anything to help students. If there’s someone who genuinely cannot handle a 15 minute period where they don’t go to the bathroom, then bring in the doctors note, that’s a VIP bathroom pass.

u/rapshepard 15h ago

I'm pretty certain he said classes are 50 minutes. A 15 minute class would be impossible to teach lol

u/Skins8theCake88 2d ago

Sounds like he's frustrated that kids are abusing the passes. But this isn't a good way to announce it.

u/airodonack 1d ago

I believe in unfair treatment. 100% this guy knows who the shitheads are. Just let him make the shitheads hold it but trust everyone else.

u/Cocrawfo 20h ago

can’t do that it’s better to be universal

u/Desperate-Pirate7353 1d ago

sounds like he's a shitty teacher if he can't handle bathroom requests

u/Medium-Budget-7432 1d ago

You definitely dont work in a school if you think its that cut and dry.

u/SenorToky 1d ago

I’m getting more of, “I was one of those shitheads, I didn’t do anything bad let them.” While failing most of his high school career. Lol

u/defk3000 1d ago

I'm getting, "I was homeschooled"

u/Frankgodfist 20h ago

Right. Ive definitely wondered off when I asked to go to the bathroom

u/CarefulBid6485 2d ago

I remember in the 5th grade a nigga peed on himself because of this. Was legit trying not to get in trouble. Was in class and that shit started dripping from the chair.

u/SeesWithBrain 1d ago

Happened to me in third grade. A kid in our class wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom and he peed himself and a giant puddle spread out from him in all directions. He cried, the teachers class was completely derailed, and he carried that stigma all the way through highschool. Let kids go to the bathroom, you can literally alter the course of their life if you don’t. He was unable to make true friends and became a shut-in after that. It was really sad, fuck those teachers honestly

u/CarefulBid6485 1d ago

Yea, I don’t recall what happened to him longterm. Brian Smith was his name. Lol he’d flunked the 3rd grade so he was already older than everyone. He eventually transferred and I never seen him again.

u/LeatherDistrict9149 2d ago

If that’s not right bad that kid felt like that but these HS kids

u/RealNiceKnife 1d ago

Is this English?

u/LeatherDistrict9149 1d ago

I could care but

u/Plasmelon 13h ago

Should have peed on the teacher.

u/GodAmongMen16 2d ago

The real thing that killed him was women in the comments saying what about when girls are having their period. He said if that was happening they would just have to come have a conversation with him. Then everyone rightfully pointed out how weird it is for him to force every young girl that’s having her period to come let him know about it.

u/Embarrassed-Slide781 2d ago

This is a lawsuit just waiting to happen.

u/Striking_Bus_8580 19h ago

What’s the lawsuit? Can’t be child abuse. Just a little pee.

u/millieFAreally2 12h ago

If you my period starts unexpectedly, and I feel the blood coming through getting on my bottoms, I would deem that abusive. Some diarrhea comes on suddenly too. And some people have different medical exceptions and needs.

u/InstructionOk887 2d ago

So what about a young girl on her period and she needs to go address her personal business? This isn't preparing kids to become adults.

u/DivineThrowaway51989 18h ago

Right. Couldn’t be my child! I get what he’s trying to do but this ain’t it.

u/koyaani 1d ago

He said they can hold it /s

u/Own_Inevitable_8300 2d ago

I hated teachers like this, especially for young girls who may be on their period 

u/OkComfortable2089 2d ago

Create an environment where students want to be in your class... 

u/fallout_zelda 2d ago

Also, create an environment where students aren't abusing bathroom trips to disappear every 5 minutes.

u/TheUnlucky_Swammi 2d ago

Idk, its tough being a teacher. Creating that “perfect” environment can usually lead to people taking advantage. And 3 emergency passes seems fair. But my high school was like jail prep so maybe we had different experiences.

u/seasidetoparadise 2d ago

Its 15 mins bro. This isnt some 45 min class.

u/Butter_Tangelo 2d ago

He said class is fifty minutes. 50 min class. Not 15 min class.

u/Mediocre_Treat1744 2d ago

Where the hell you having 15 min classes at?

u/seasidetoparadise 2d ago

I thought he said 15 😆 and took it as something new. Yes bro should let them use the restroom. If its the same kid asking everyday then they should be told no

u/JazzlikeAd1371 2d ago

I agree. However, this is crazy coming from someone whose teachers apparently stopped doing enough around the third-grade grammar unit.  😭

u/debtcoder-dev 1d ago

They be the worst of people.

u/XBL-AntLee06 2d ago

The kids who abuse the bathroom passers are 9/10 the same kids who will disrupt your class anyway. Just let them go and let admin deal with it was what I do.

u/HowDidCatdogPoop 2d ago

The fuck does this boob have to do with my child's UTI or lack thereof????

Do your fucking job, teach my fucking kid, and stfu.

u/MacroManJr 2d ago

People do be "pooping" just to play on their phones behind closed stalls, both at work and at school. But this still feels a little extreme and not the best use of a strict policy.

I'd rather just have the students leave their phones on the desk before leaving to go to the restroom, instead.

u/Wolfeatingupshadows 1d ago

Id request my child to be removed from his class.

u/Accurate-Funny-6399 2d ago

Its highschool….I agree with him lol

u/LeatherDistrict9149 2d ago

They forgetting these kids bad as hell too

u/hemperbud 2d ago

Right if this was elementary school I’d be like “come on bro”

But it’s high schoolers lol we know and he knows what they really want to go to the bathroom for.

u/LeatherDistrict9149 2d ago

My silly ass was smoking on bathroom pass

u/hemperbud 2d ago

Id get a pass and just not come back til the end lol

u/koyaani 1d ago

Maybe changing a tampon, genius

u/hemperbud 1d ago

Well if they say that you can’t really argue lol

u/koyaani 1d ago

Why would they need to share that with the teacher? None of their business

u/hemperbud 1d ago

If they are repeat problems then it is the teachers issue.

u/koyaani 1d ago

Like once a month??

u/hemperbud 1d ago

Nah I mean the student lmfao if they are always causing problems and disruptions, asking EVERY DAY to leave to the bathroom then i get it.

u/koyaani 1d ago

Bro forgot about periods lmao

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 1d ago

Yall forgot about URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS AS WELL

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 1d ago

Yall know mfs with bad bladder often have UTIs and holding your urine too long can cause them even more, as well as kidney infections and you can also lose a kidney that way too, it's a number of things not only females go thru, but males as well, you can literally end up in the hospital for holding your bladder too long, if you already have a bad bladder or UTI especially

u/Live_Recognition9240 2d ago

Is it that serious,I swear,just go to school

Yes, “go to school” is probably solid advice for the person struggling with third-grade grammar.

u/ThisIs-mYnAm3 2d ago

He isn’t wrong tho. He is teaching responsibility and time management. He is also being accountable. What’s the issue? Seem like a teacher that cares to me

u/Punman__5 2d ago

Idk man forcing students to hold it doesn’t teach them anything other than to be irresponsible with their bladder. Holding it isn’t really safe.

u/Immediate-Fee-2121 19h ago

How do you responsibly plan/time manage your stomach going crazy and needing to vomit? Be specific

u/Mhunterjr 2d ago

It’s not really teaching time management at all. He’s managing their time for them.

Teaching time management means providing flexibility and having consequences when that flexibility isn’t used responsibly.

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 1d ago

Is that more important than having a fucking kidney or bladder infection from holding your urine too long?...bffr

u/Mhunterjr 1d ago

I think you’re talking to the wrong person… I think the kids should be allowed to go to the bathroom

u/ihartpancakes 2d ago

Literally child abuse.

u/Champers624 2d ago

Idiotic. Kids will pee on themselves, that always happens when this “rule” is added, ALWAYS. Did he think he invented this?

u/Rivet-Phoenix 2d ago

I bet he still has a job.

u/PanamPineapple892 2d ago

I understand I get it.

u/AbsoluteBabyMonae 2d ago

Adults become teachers just to be bullies.

u/bbygrl1995 2d ago

Does he hold it in the entire time? Like is he going to physically hold a kid down that doesn't care about a hall pass? Because a kid who doesn't care about your lessons will just go to the bathroom at that point.

u/Emergency-Shirt2208 2d ago

Taking the gig too seriously.

u/Irubwatermelon 2d ago

This clown wants to be teacher of the year or something?

u/Next_Building_5380 1d ago

He thought because he was handsome he could get a pass to say this nonsense.

u/TheRealShmoe 23h ago

If you gotta go, you gotta go. Now, if you’re a repeat offender going to the bathroom after recess is over every single day, then that’s a problem you let the principal handle. Heck, they have apps nowadays where teachers can send messages to parents. I just had one sent to me last week about my stepdaughter constantly using the restroom after recess. I addressed it at home and she hasn’t done it since. But at the end of the day, you as a teacher cannot deny them the right to use the restroom. That’s not your call. Either the principal or parent needs to step in and handle that.

u/tamaaromarou 2d ago

He's right, the kids need to go to the bathroom between classes. Everybody wanna tell the teachers how to do their job but nobody wants to actually do the job.

u/Punman__5 2d ago

This is gonna trigger a lawsuit when some kid ends up getting horrifically embarrassed because they can’t go between classes and can’t get a break to go during class.

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

I highly doubt that.

u/GrooveDigger47 1d ago

i only had 5 mins in between classes in school. if everybody just waited to go in between class there would be alot of people tardy. this teacher is a dickhead

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

Not everyone has to use the bathroom between classes. Just before his particular class. And if you can't make it there are 3 emergency passes you can use. Or you can go in the class before his. Or you can hold it. No matter how you spin it it's a 1 hour period. If you can't figure out when to use the bathroom outside of the 50 min timeframe that you're in his class for the whole day then maybe time isn't the issue.

u/GrooveDigger47 1d ago

dog this is full on retarded.

alot of hoops to jump thru for a narcissistic dickhead of a teacher. this will cause a domino effect where students are trying to use the restroom more in the classes before and after him and other teachers will have an issue with this. students will be tardy for classes because of this dickhead teacher. him and you are not the brightest crayon in the box.

u/hxrxtxc 1d ago

Don't worry - you can't prevent a soldier in basic training from going to the restroom - you can't prevent a minor from doing it in the school they didn't volunteer to go to.

u/Mopar4Life305 1d ago

Do you not need to pee ever? Sometimes you do need to pee and then 5 minutes you do. Some classes be 2 hours long. 

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

The class is 50 minutes as he stated in the video. This isn't a schoolwode policy so just go in another teachers class. Or between classes.

u/koyaani 1d ago

"this isn't a school wide policy" maybe time for you to stop and reflect here

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

That every teacher doesn't have the same rules for their classroom? What am I reflecting on? That's very standard in just about every school

u/koyaani 1d ago

Because the school policy was reviewed by lawyers, and this guy ain't a lawyer

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

What point are you making? Every teacher at every school has their own way of running their classroom. The schools policy is a completely different conversation.

u/koyaani 1d ago

Because the teacher is opening the school district up to litigation that the policy is specifically trying to avoid. Hence why they put out a statement shortly after this interview was made public

u/Positive_Round_5142 2d ago

Um so kids don’t have enough time because they’re stuck in a hallway

u/tamaaromarou 2d ago

Everyday??

u/OutrageouslySelfish 1d ago

Have you EVER been to a school??

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

I have been most of the times I went to the bathroom it was between classes. Not to say I never went during classes but I've definitely had more than 1 teacher say they don't do passes to the bathroom. And you know what we did as middle/high school kids? We worked around that. Kass and made sure we didn't need to go.

u/Positive_Round_5142 2d ago

Yeah

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

I find it hard to believe any student is gonna have to go the bathroom at the same time everyday. Even harder to believe that they can't go in any of there other classes or between their classes and it just has to be in his class more than 3 times per semester. Ultimately if it's really an emergency they can just leave without his permission. But once again I find it hard to believe that needs to be a regular occurrence

u/koyaani 1d ago

You sound misogynistic

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

Please explain what I said that was misogynistic.

u/tamaaromarou 1d ago

Then they can plan around not using the bathroom in his class. Idk how many classes these kids take but when I was in HS we had 5 classes per semester plus homeroom. I had teachers that had similar policies and we just went to the bathroom between classes or in another class like gym.

u/PraxisSholar 2d ago

Unfortunately, we have educators focused on being right and enforcing power rather than being open and establishing relationships. He obviously needs immediate PD and apologize to those students and parents.

u/THESACcsniffer 2d ago edited 1d ago

See I was a pretty good student and respected my teachers to an extent however what he’s saying is why most kids act out the way they do…bathroom privileges taken away? How about creating a better environment for those who wants to be in your class first…teachers like this are the reason why the good teachers are often disrespected and dismissed initially….

u/I_Galactus 2d ago

Followed shortly by kids getting comfortable saying fuck you to the teacher and the hall pass.

u/Amphitra_Roximar 2d ago

15 minutes!!?

u/WorkHardPlayHarder3 2d ago

I don’t know the environment to say if I agree or disagree with him. What I will say, he should have kept this to himself.

Social media really got people saying any and everything out loud for the world to see and pass judgement without context. Hypothehis’ are passed around like facts and judgements are issues without investigations. THINGS gotta change!!!!

u/Drag_On66 2d ago

I’ll tell my child go to the bathroom if you need to use the bathroom because u will not let my child peed themselves

u/BookerDewittAD 1d ago

Even back when I was a kid passing time was legit 5 mins. You had to go to your locker, ho to the bathroom, and get to class all in 5 mins.

u/jawwkneee3 1d ago

Mann I remember that my teachers use to do the same thing. Manage your time better and use it during passing periods. Its possible to do. I had ine high school teacher that would give you only 2 passes a semester and if you dont use your passes you can use them for extra credit. This shouldnt be an issue.

u/Plane_Phone_681 1d ago

u/djoc0316 1d ago

Classes are fifty minutes with a short break between to get to the next class. There is no time between classes to go to the bathroom. This teacher is an idiot tyrant. Hopefully he gets the talking to he needs, and it gets thru to him.

u/therealest729 1d ago

u/youngcenoo77 1d ago

I'm actually on his side, 15 minutes. You can hold it for 15 minutes, you can wait to get some water for 15 minutes. His class ain't an all day class, if it was this would be different.

u/sloptop89 1d ago

I mean.. if you catch these kids hanging out at a movie or something.. or at a party... Bet they can hold it for the same amount of time this teacher has the class for

A classic example of it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it

u/Future_Amoeba_1962 1d ago

I agree with the woman at the end, learn your students. Figure out which ones actually need the bedroom and which ones are leaving just to make bathroom TikToks.

Last week my daughter was nauseous in class because she missed breakfast. She asked the teacher if she could leave to get some water to help settle her stomach. He allowed her to and even offered her a pass to go to a different building to grab something from the vending machine.

My niece also has that teacher and he won't allow her to leave because the one time he did, she left right after class started and came back right before the bell. She was in the bathroom making TikToks with her friends.

u/Immediate-Fee-2121 20h ago

Man shut up 😂 I remember one day I was sick and raising my hand and the teacher just ignored me. I got up, grabbed the trash can, and walked outta there lol made it about 5 steps and started hurling 😂 my freshman year somebody puked on the floor in English class and I said that will never be me 

That day forward I decided to just get up and leave and take whatever punishment they wanted to give. Teachers are only people, and a lot of people fuckin suck

There's grown-ass adults that cant control when they need to go to the bathroom how do we expect children to do so? Let them kids go to the bathroom and if they're the ones that are abusing it they're probably the ones that are distracting in class and being unruly in there anyway, just let them go. I've told my kids every year at the beginning of the year when you have to go to the bathroom get up and walk out. The school can call me if they have a problem with it. It really seems like some teachers care more about having their fucking control than they do about the well-being of the students.

u/CallEmergency1584 4h ago

Eff that I get it he’s trying to do but no if I gotta go then I’m going to get up and go use the bathroom. Sorry Mr teacher but sometimes you don’t need a go then boom it hits ya, stomach bubbling…. Heck no there’s no way to hold that.

Facts they not 60

u/Loafy2_ 2d ago edited 2d ago

If I have to go to the bathroom and there’s one available I’m going to the bathroom and I tell my child the same 🤷🏽‍♂️. Kids that ain’t aren’t going to pay attention in class are not going to pay attention regardless. I think saying no one can goto the bathroom while in his class ain’t the answer. There’s plenty of times I’ve seen have accidents in these cases now mom or dad has to leave work etc to bring clothes or pick up their kids because they couldn’t hold it. Not to mention young females that have monthly cycles. So nah I hear all the stuff about the noncompliant kids but nah

u/Different_Daikon3400 2d ago

I def cannot concentrate on school when i need to use the bathroom lol

Your just gonna keep teens who are focused on holding it in rather than paying attention.

Not to mention girls with periods who do not want to disclose that. This rule is just so weird and does more harm than good.

u/hemperbud 2d ago

I mean I agree but the people that usually get told no are the problem kids, speaking as a former problem lol

u/Different_Daikon3400 2d ago

That's only a few students a minority in most classrooms, the rest should not have to suffer from those consequences esp those that really need to go🤷‍♂️

u/Flowkey_mma 2d ago

All of you are coming from the mind of maybe when yall were in school.

These Highschoolers in these upcoming generation are STUPID as hell.

The education system is failing them and failing teachers.

Too much social media is failing them. It teaches them that they don't have to do the bare minimum in school to make it.

"Shit, what do I need school for, when I can just stream"

Real world goals are completely gone by so many of these newer generations.

And the school systems, both highschool and colleges has helped destroy that.

It has become overly cool to be distracted and not care about scholastic, and what's crazy is that Schools encourage that type of behavior with policies.

This is no exaggeration. It's scary and sad.

People in the comments are focusing on the rule but not the why! We enforce this at my school as well. Why? Because my school is, for lack of better words, like the school in Lean On Me. Allowing to leave for bathroom or water is a way for my students to start roaming the halls, skipping class, and 9 times out of 10 smoking weed and vaping. We stress for students to take care of bathroom and water needs between classes. Instead of playing in the hallways during that time, do what you need to do to be successful in the classroom. Setting that standard from jump creates a culture of accountability amongst the students. Of course there will be emergencies where you let them go, but setting a standard keeps them in line. Emergency passes reinforces the standard while at the same time teaching students what can wait and what cannot. Remember these are young teens. Give an inch take a yard. Tell one kid they can go, someone who wasn’t thinking about it now wants to leave the room for some nefarious reason. Giving kids structure is the most important thing for them at this age and the best thing in molding them to be proper adults.

These kids can't read or write and the concern is bathroom time?
