How Do I Ask My Teacher To Go Potty

I have to go pee but my teacher wont let me what should i do?

tell her that you have a kidney infection and you really need to go now.

Can I Sue A Teacher For Not Letting Me Go To The Toilet?

A jury will laugh. They will think they have to hold it. The last time I couldn't 'hold it' when I was five years old. At work we have to hold it until break. On a bus we have to hold it. When we are out in the street we have to hold it. Be a man and not a baby.

What should I do if the teacher doesn't let you go to the toilet when you are on your period?

Simply do what you need to do. If you get ‘reported’ or whatever’, tell the school cops or whoever handles such complaints from teachers EXACTLY what you did or didn’t do and WHY, and that the teacher is a controlling asshole.Well, maybe not that last part, but just be honest.If some guy started bleeding from his nose for whatever reason, I’m pretty sure that guy would be TOLD to get to a restroom, STAT.State your case to people in charge at your school who can solve this problem with your idiot teacher. But be real sweet about it, so they’ll feel sorry for you. I’d also report this instance to my parental units, especially the female ones.(More likely, I would take a pad or tampon out of my backpack and wave it high to get the teacher’s attention, especially if it’s a man or an old woman. They might let me take care of my personal health care needs to get the rest of the class to stop laughing.)

How would you respond if you say "Can I use the bathroom?" and a teacher says "I don't know, can you?"

This happens All The Time. I truly cannot wrap my head around why teachers think this is so clever? It’s mostly annoying, implicitly condescending, and a big waste of everyone’s time. Anyway, to answer your question: This has happened to me, countless times, and by the time I was just about finished with school, I’d had enough.It was my senior year of college. I was 22 years old, in my second semester; mere weeks away from graduation.It was my last class of the day, Social Psychology. It was also a ‘Lab’ day, which meant we were required to stay for the duration of a 4 hour lecture/laboratory session. 4 hours is a long time to “hold it.”Around the 3-hour mark, I got up to use the restroom, as we were independently working on our lab assignments at this point.The professor headed me off at the doorway. Her eyes locked in an even, impatient stare: “Where are you going?”I was taken aback. I was a full-grown adult. It was normal for students to come and go during lab time, and I hadn’t left the classroom since class began, 3 hours prior.I stammered: “I, uh, I need to use the restroom?”She stared back, remaining unmoved. I tried again: “Professor, can I please use the facilities?” (Potty-dancing at this point, because I always push the limits of how long I can “hold it.”)Her eyes answered before her mouth could; they danced and sparkled, like she had some kind of clever secret. The corner of her mouth pulled up, creasing her eyes, and she said: “I don’t know, can you?”I felt my blood boil. I tried to take a deep breath, maybe two?Time stood still as I politely side-stepped her, opened the door, and walked out into the hall, toward the women’s restroom.I realized the error in my ways a few steps out the door; I turned, saw the professor staring at me, mouth hanging open.“Sorry, professor! Really! But I CAN and HAVE TO GO!” And ran into the restroom.*facepalm* Sometimes my stubbornness gets the best of me.The rest of the semester was a little strained, as I’m sure you can imagine.

Do teachers take toilet breaks during class?

They do when the absolutely have to. During the nearly 20 years I’ve been teaching, I’ve had to beg someone to take my class probably five times so that I could run down to the restroom. It isn’t ideal. It’s a touch embarrassing. Still, in my area of the school, we’re more than willing to help each other out.I once had a neighbor teacher who had Crohn's disease. There were many times where I’d have to stand facing into both classrooms from the outside to watch while both classes worked.The problem is that teachers don’t really have an easy time when it comes to getting to take a break. My workday is six periods. Each period is an hour (and one minute, for some reason). I have a five minute “passing period” between which is usually taken up by students. I get a 30 minute lunch which is usually taken up by… eating lunch. Basically, you get to go to the restroom before school, after school, and once at lunch unless you really have to go between periods. If that happens, you have to get students ready to go at the bell and then race to the restroom and then back.I might be able to have a security guard watch my room, but that isn’t a great plan. It takes them a while to get there. In an emergency, that just won’t work, right?Fortunately, years of adaptation have gotten me to a place where I just don’t drink a lot of water. I use the restroom maybe once per day at work. Because our halls are often jam packed and the stairs are simply impassable during the passing period, it just isn’t terribly easy to get there. That’s if you really want to get there. I’ve actually “held it” for an entire day before, including the hour commute there and hour commute back because our restrooms can be in really bad shape. I know it isn’t healthy, but frankly neither is our restroom.

My teacher wouldn't let me use the bathroom?

I understand your position, but I understand the teacher's point to. As a teacher myself, I can tell you many students use the "bathroom" excuse. They don't need to go, they just want to get out of class.

In a situation like this, I would be really nice about it. I would have said, "Mrs. So and So, it's really an emergency and I need to use the bathroom badly. Can I please go?" If you have a good attitude, she'll let you go.

In addition, this might not be your teachers fault. In many schools, the administration asks the students NOT be in the hallway during classroom time (only during passing time) This is for numerous reasons including:
1) Safety-if crime/fighting is a problem in your school, then this might be the reason the school doesn't want people randomly walking around.
2) Distractions. Lots of students will walk by classrooms, wave at their friends, kick things down the hallway......

Just be honest with the teacher and let her know you wouldn't let this happen again. But, this is an emergency. If you're a girl, say you are having "woman problems" That one works everytime.

What should I do if a teacher doesn't let me leave to use the bathroom?

I often refuse permission to go to the toilet, if I suspect that the student is just bored/ trying to get out of work.Or if the student has a history of asking to go every single time I have their class.That being said, if a student asked to go to the toilet and I said no, and then they went anyway and came back quickly, I’m not going to make a big deal out of it. I figure, if they’re really desperate, they’ll go. If they’re not, they can wait. Saying no is just my way of weeding out those students who are faking it.Side note, one of my students just offered to go in the garbage bin. When he picked up the bin, I said he could go - maybe you’d like to try this?

My daughter is too shy to ask to go to the bathroom at school?

I have been there! I was really shy when I was her age. I peed my pants many times in first grade because I was too terrified to ask the teacher to go to the bathroom. Sometimes the teacher wouldn't make it easy. She would say things (not meaning to discourage people like me, but people that went all the time) and it would end up discouraging me to ask. Id be terrified to speak up and say I had to go. Then I would end up holding it to long and going in my chair. Which was even more embarrassing because I had to where horribly colored jogging pants from the lost and found bin . . .

Clearly her teacher is aware of this issue. Definitely have a talk with the teacher about it. Let her know that your daughter is shy and maybe see if she could keep an eye on her. Then have a talk with your daughter and let her know that asking the teacher is ok and that she is allowed to ask to go to the bathroom.

When I was that age my mom had a talk with my teacher and my teacher made sure to pay a little extra attention to "the signs". So when she noticed I had to go she would say something like "Does anyone have to go to the bathroom before we start . .speak up if you need to go" or something along those lines. Which eventually prompted me to raise my hand and say that I had to go. After awhile this wasn't an issue . .but it helped me get going.

Lets put it this way . .I was so shy when I was in grade 2 I couldn't even ask the other kids if I could borrow the class room scissors from them to do my craft lol. I was about as shy as they came =)

I know a little encouragement helped me, it helped me the most when it came from my teacher. It made me feel like she wasn't so scary after all and that it was ok for me to ask her things if I really needed them. All it takes is one scary comment to make you feel like you shouldn't be asking. That's all it took for me to not ask.

Best of luck =)
