My 5 year old son recently started a pre-kindergarten summer school and today he came home crying and saying that his teacher wouldnt allow him to go to the restroom to poop. He and another class member said that the teacher said no bathroom until the work is done. Consequently, my son had an accident in his underwear-twice. My son says someone-not his teacher-cleaned him up and changed his clothes. Am I wrong to assume that young children should be allowed to go poop whenever the urge hits them? I realize this may not sound like such a big problem to some, but this is my child and it upsets me that he was humiliated in this way. Please give me some feedback on this subject.
Thanks for the help folks!! My husband and I talked with his teacher last night, but didnt get any real explanation other than she asked him if it was an emergency and he “did not communicate effectively enough to her for he to believe it was”. Yes, I am still livid and hurt for my child and I’m not sure we will continue in public school. Please give me feedback on what your opinions are as to whether or not we should allow him to finish summer classes. I chose to keep him home today and we will practice our bathroom hygiene and possibly go back to school on Monday. Tell me what you all think.Thanks
