Guess he really had to go. Reminds me of x-country (the sport) bus trips.

"He said, 'Do what you got to do,"' Patterson said. "I said, 'I've got a bottle' and he said, 'Go in the corner.' So I just handled my business."

SO the kid got suspended for listening to the teacher.

The story doesn't say why the teacher didn't let him leave the room, whether the kid had an history of misusing bathroom passes, or what.

Though it does mention that "news accounts of the incident have been one-sided, but that he [the teacher, a Mr. Stanzler] was advised by his principal and union not to discuss it."

I got suspended in elementary school for puking in the floor. I raised my hand to go to the bathroom but the teacher said no, and so I tried to explain that I was really sick and it was an emergency, and she rolled her eyes, but by that time it was too late and I vomited on her floor.

I got kicked out for 3 days. :mad: I figured out later that I should have just left without asking, so a few years down the road I did that, and got suspended for 3 days again.

Now what have these experiences taught you? That's right, quit eating. I'm sure that dry heaves would only have gotten you suspended for a day or so.

So it's lose-lose. Guess they were trying to teach you about American politics at an early age, eh? :D

Seriously though, what are you supposed to do in these situations? I'm surprised the PTA hasn't said something.

Hurray for Southern Authoritarianism in schools!

Hey, you're not alone. I had to go through that shit the very week I moved from Port Aransas. Fucking "independence" in school administration really needs to be done away with.

The way I look at it, there's independence for the administration, which enables the very real possibility of allowing faculty to commit physical and mental abuse on their students... And then there's independence of the student body, which would protect them from that.

I could make a list of all of the abuses I, as well as my classmates, suffered in Elementary school, and it would fill damn near three whole pages. Oh, and there were plenty of threats thrown my way by three teachers of mine, too.

This story reminds me of something similiar that happened when I was a senior in high school. It was the last week of school, finals week, and there was this rule that you couldn't leave the room during class on finals week for whatever reason. And this one kid during my jazz orchestra class, just to be a piss head, asked to go and when the teacher said no he pulled down his pants, sat on a trash can, and squeezed off a chocolate mud baby. Everyone was in shock, but I could not stop laughing. He wasn't allowed to graduate with the rest of us, and the principal tried to have public indecency charges pressed on the kid. I'm not sure how it all panned out in the end.

So Van Wilder is true...

lol

That actually sounds like something I would do. Well, not really. But I do tend to take things literally.

So Van Wilder is true...

I swear it happened.

That movie blows.

The story I read on this last week said that there was some sort of policy of not letting students go to the bathroom within a certain time limit of class beginning or ending and that the teacher claims to have told the student to wait, not to go in a bottle.

Haha! I'm seriously laughing out loud here!

Chocolate Mud baby... I'll never get over that one! :D

People seem to always have these awful experience in school. Makes me glad that my own time was boring. I feel like I'm unique or something.

I have a wide range of humorous colloquialisms for fecal matter. :p

I got a paddling for coughing on some one in like 4th grade.
My school was big on corporal punishment. You had to do some bad ass shit to get suspended. Or maybe just be outside of the elementary section of it, I don't know.

More to the story, does the NAACP have nothing better to do?

Wtf. Teachers have too many damn abuses of power. Paid leave? For the love of....

Meh. So he peed in a bottle during class. Big deal. I used to do it at lunch time for money.

Suspension seems a little harsh, but if the kid wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom, I'm inclined to think there was a good reason. And seriously dude, who can't hold it?

Zero tolerance.

Why is it all these weird news stories always come from FOX? Do they report anything else?

If they reported news they would be accused of being corrupted by the "liberal media" and lose their entire viewership.

Kid suspended for urinating in bottle during class

I never realised she was into such kinky things...

Not that bad. On fields trips they wouldn't let us stop had go to the bathroom so a few guys in my class just pissed in bottles and gave it to the bus diver.

Teachers need to be payed more. That way there'd be enough supply they wouldn't have to hire every dumbfuck with a degree.

Wait, teachers are allowed to refuse permission to leave class to go to the toilet? Damn, that's fucked up. One of the things that we teachers in Australia get told over and over and over is, "It doesn't matter who the kid is, if they request to go to the toilet, or to get a drink, except during examinations (and only during block week exams which have their own special rules and apply only to seniors sitting for Overall Positions), let them go." We can be sued for not allowing a student to leave class to go to the toilet or to get a drink.

Can't do that in the US. Too much liability, especially with the blanket zero tolerance. They could be going to the bathrooms to smoke. Or prepare to blow up the school, or have sex. Etc etc.

It is utterly ridiculous that you would be suspended for this. I do understand a teacher not allowing a student to go to the bathroom at a certain point. Some students will abuse their right to the bathroom, nurse, guidance, etc. There are some kids who want to go to each multiple times a day and it always seems it's when independent work comes into play.

Here in Brazil its like Australia: if the guy has to go, let him go.

We usually have a guy in the security that periodicaly checks the bathrooms and unused rooms. That means that if youre going out to do something "ilegal", someone is going to get you.

If it had been close to lunch or the start of the period, the teacher would deny you permission, or if they are lecturing on new material. If it was a emergency. they made exceptions.

In secondary school they weren't as anal about it as in primary school, where "self control" was heavily enforced. Of course, it didn't apply to the good students. Teachers played favourites.

It also depends on the teacher and their style. Some teachers would say "no" no matter what. I had a teacher who only let me go after I solved a math problem on the blackboard. :)
