To the OP : I'm sorry if I've come across rather aggressively but we've had a bit of trouble on here lately with wind-up merchants.

If you genuinely are a teacher and it was an innocent question, I genuinely apologise to you.

No it is not a wind up.

Well, if that's the case please accept my apologies :)

I stand by what I said though : tough it out with the little snowflakes. If one of them does wet themselves, it'll make the others think twice about lying about it just to get out of class !

What has this got to do with a Leeds United forum, Miss White? Are you a Leeds fan?

Would this bother you if it was your child?
Wind up? :lol: Strangest thread since I have been a member.

Whilst we are on the subject of toilet behavior. I bet the kids don't have to suffer using that bloody awful tracing-paper loo roll us adults of a certain age will remember. I mean, what the hell did it absorb! Cruel. :D

When I started school in Liverpool in 1940, if you asked to go to the toilet you were told 'no'. If you peed your pants you got battered, so you learned not to ask and hold on.

PS: You then got battered again when you got home.

It didn't do me any harm.................. :crazy: :crazy: :wave: :? :lol:

Bizarre, but this has just reminded me.

I was 4 when I started school and my mum had drummed it into me that if I needed to go to the toilet I'd to put my hand up and ask the teacher nicely. So, first day, half way through I put my hand up "Miss, may I go to the toilet please?" "Yes, go ahead". So out the classroom door I go, down the corridor and out the main door, through the school gates, across a main road and walked about 3/4 of a mile home. I rapped the door and when my mum opened it I went in to use the toilet. She quickly explained that there were toilets available in school!

To be fair, ANS, what are all of these topics to do with a Leeds United forum:
Christmas gift shout out
The funny corner
The blabla of the forum
The dentist
Worth watching on telly
the old topic- searching
Feed the birds
Bizarre but brilliant ..
Travel
The Rugby League thread
Grumpy old man
Quiet
Guilty pleasures
The departed
Catalan Uprising
Brexit - Yes or No? - Poll added

I admit it's a bizarre choice of subject matter for a first post but if it was from one of our regular poster's who also happen to teach (like Frankie, for instance) we wouldn't have batted an eyelid.
