After some advice about daughter’s diabetes

Tomorrow?????? @everydayupsanddowns - It’s Saturday please don’t make us (teachers) work Saturdays!

Hi @Charlotteburton mistakes happen, info doesn’t get passed on or it’s not understood the impact of saying no, I’m not excusing a potential not allowing child out to the loo from lesson but maybe to avoid it happening again you need to ask for your daughter to have a toilet pass. I’m sure the school will oblige if explained to and asked about. Sometimes I know when I’ve had the 4th or 5th or sometimes 6th ask to pop out to the loo it gets a bit much and disruptive but I do have a few students in different classes and year groups who have a pass and they just wave it at me and off they go.

Some people don’t fully understand diabetes and the knock on effects and until it’s pointed out they can be oblivious. I’m a grown up and I had to really explain in my school to get things sorted for me

Good luck

I remember hearing how it's a bad idea, generally, waiting to go to the toilet. It's unhealthy. On top of that there's the diabetes. When I was at school it was the policy not to let puples go to the toilet. Except in the afternoon 10 minute break. Which was needed to get across the school to the next class. For proper breaks, and lunch, we were actually locked out and not allowed into the buildings. If you were late you got in trouble, and held back (which made you late to the next class). This was more than a couple of years ago though.
Chase it up and make your expectations clear. You might have to use your social skills in dealing with the school though.
Sorry you're having difficulties.

Does the teacher know some girls aged 9 have already reached puberty and get what comes with that at the usual frequency? She must do surely? I'd expect it to be a normal part of the teacher training programme in junior schools as well as senior schools these days - and hence can't see how she could, reasonably, refuse a child a loo visit.

I meant daughter could have asked - or told - said teacher as they left so she could access the loo on the way out instead of having to hop all the way home.
