Expecting teachers to wipe your third-grader's ass is just dumb.

Expecting teachers to wipe your third-grader's ass is just dumb.

Even dumber.

Lets say the trend grows and there's 10 kids that need asswiping at lunch time. A teacher is suppose to act like a butt wiping crossing guard for squirrelly kids for half an hour while the rest of the kids have to wait for class to resume?

Talking of Lunch time, in some regions the kids on free school meals will have vouchers provided for meals during school holidays. They are provided for all year round and yet the parents still fail them

Grew up in a suburban part of town that was just normal public schools. No rich ivy walls, a mix of kids walking or bussing in from mostly just normal homes. Some came from nicer neighbourhoods, and some from lower income apartments or low budget rental townhouse complexes.

All 3 schools I went to (elementary, middle and high) had zero free food. Bring your own grub. At best, high school had a small kitchen where you could buy pizza slices or teachers get a coffee. And a pop vending machine. If you wanted it you had to buy it. No real meals like you see on TV or movies with lunchlady Doris spooning full meals onto trays like an assembly line. But maybe it's common in US schools. Elementary and middle schools were basically the same. You could buy small cups of juice or these oddly giant ass cookies for like 35 or 50 cents. Thats it.

We all turned out fine. The kids from the poorer housing complexes figured out how to bring their own lunch. So it cant be that hard why modern day numbnut families cant do the same.

By the time a kid goes to school they should be potty trained. Damn near by the time I was able to walk I knew how to use a toilet.

At that point schools are going to have to hire dedicated butt wipers who do nothing but change diapers all day. Instead of sending kids to the nurse they'll send them to the butt wiper.

Why would parents even want teachers and/or random strangers in a school to even touch their children like that?

Potty train your kids, people.

I was honestly expecting this to be in America.

Teachers shouldn’t be responsible for this even remotely. Not even for a second.

It’s wrong on so many levels.

More children spend longer in child-care settings, often cared for by early years workers who do not have skills nor experience to support toilet training
A survey conducted in 2018 showed that 72% of eligible 2 year olds and 92% of 3 year olds in England benefited from funded early education, in nurseries, pre-schools and with childminders. Our survey of early years practitioners showed that 70% of staff had received no training in how to potty train and only 53% of respondents said there was a potty training policy in place at their setting.

Paying outside parties to care for young children is inherently unworkable and all our structuring of social norms should be built around keeping mothers at home. There is no decent world where childcare is outsourced and at-home motherhood is reduced to an option.

50 years from now SonofStreetsofBeige will be making the exact same post.

Eric, a children's bowel and bladder charity, said it was concerned parents were being "shamed" for not having toilet trained their children.

Uh, outside of medical exceptions, parents should be shamed for not having their 4+ year olds toilet trained and sent to school. Accidents can happen with little kids, but not being trained going past 5yo is really terrible.
