on behalf of all teachers, who teach kids who are of age to be toilet trained, I will just tell you: PLEASE don’t send your child to school if he/she is not properly trained! of course, if he/she has an ****occasional**** accident, we understand, and don’t mind changing your child- but our job is NOT to toilet train your child!
believe me, some of the parents i deal with- whoa! they walk their kid into school and tell us “we think (name)is ready, so today is his first day in underwear!”
one parent only trained her kid halfway, and he doesn’t tell us when he needs to go. we had three accidents on three consecutive days. I AM SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED TOILET TRAINED.
before sending your child to school make sure:
1) he is fully trained, read: can do #1 and #2 in the toilet
2) he can VERBALIZE to a morah when he has to go (we take the kids AT LEAST twice in a 2 hour period. once in the morning before gym- at about 9:15, and once after learning time at about 11:30. they get to school between 8:30 and 9, so parents have just taken them at home, or the parents take them when they get to school. we take them twice after that. that is enough for well trained kids. usually parents take them again at 1 before they leave school. but come on, that’s enough. if a child can’t go without an accident on this schedule (of course unless due to a medical issue, which i am not talking about here) THEY ARE NOT WELL TRAINED. sorry to be so harsh, its just that i wonder sometimes is parents really think about what they are doing.
