I’m a teacher & parents are furious I won’t let their kids use the toilet during class – they’re raising entitled kids

A PRIMARY school teacher has revealed the real reasons why she refuses to let children go to the bathroom in class – and it’s sent parents fuming.

The UK-based teacher who goes by Home Learning Haven online shared why she puts the rule in place and why parents have to stop complaining about it.

Taking to social media, she said: “I’m just sitting here my lunch break, marking books, and I’m just thinking about the whole, the problem that parents have with teachers not letting their kids go to the toilet.

“And today I had about three examples of a time where I did not let the children go to the toilet.”

She hoped that by sharing the reasons parents would stop complaining about the situation – but many parents were still upset with the rule.

The teacher said the first reason was because she started a pair activity with the kids where they read to each other but one wanted to go to the toilet during the task.

The teacher told them no as it would make the activity futile for both the child and it’s partner.

Next, the teacher refused one child going to the toilet as she was in the middle of explaining their maths activity to them.

She said: “No, because if you now go to the toilet, when you come back, I’m gonna have to explain the activity again to you.”

The teacher admitted that she does let children go the bathroom, but in scenarios like this asks them to wait just a few minutes so they hear her instructions.

Last but not least she revealed she would ask a child to wait if they had just got back from break time.

Of course, the teacher would just be starting the lesson and giving the children vital information for it at this point that she didn’t want them to miss.

She concluded: “So there will be times that I, as a teacher, will tell your child, not right now, you can’t go to the toilet.

“And I think parents have their back up and seem to think that we just wanna deprive your child of their human rights.

“It’s not that. We’re humans as well. And most teachers actually care about kids, and that’s why they’re in the job in the first place.”

“If you want your child to receive special treatment, mainstream state school probably isn’t the place to be sending them, some parents really are setting their kids up for failure in real life with all this pampering and entitlement,” she captioned the post.

School Rules + Laws in the UK

The clip posted on social media went viral on her TikTok account @homelearninghaven with over 700k views and 20k likes.

Parents were quick to share their thoughts in the comments – and many seemed unswayed by the teacher’s reasoning.

One person wrote: “honestly I don’t know how you deal with parents nowadays it must be exhausting!”

Another commented: “None of the 4 reasons are valid enough.”

“Toilet should be allowed whenever they need it,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Nope, sorry, they should always be allowed to go when they ask.”

“I’ll be honest I told my son if he needs to go toilet and gets told no I as his mother give him permission to walk out of his class,” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “If you need the toilet that’s all you will concentrate on.. so the child won’t actually be taking in the information and it’s likely it will need repeating anyway?”
