Whatever happened to peeing between classes?

But nevermind that, we are slowly indoctrinating kids in a police state mentality.

You will go to class when we tell you, you will eat when we tell you, and you will poop when we tell you.

It isn't a matter of endoctrinating them in state policy as much as an attempt to keep the schools from being sued for the mischief that can happen when some students are not under proper supervision. By that I mean, some kids just get out so as to get into trouble, and when trouble occurs on campus, the school can be deemed liable.

Trust me--I've been lied to by students, including girls who assured me that they were having female difficulties that necessitated a trip to the nurse and then the bathroom when backtracking on that when said students didn't return indicated that the kids had never gone to the healthroom in the first place. The lunchroom was the destination of choice.

Kids lie, discipline is a problem and the middle school has a valid point.
