the grammar school my kids went to, hadn't been repaired or upgraded since the 40's. The boys bathrooms had no doors on the toilets
The little boy I watched after he got out of school and my son would come in and sit on the toilet for quite some time every day.
One of them got hemmoroids. I considered this a form of child abuse. I went to Social services to report it, and they scoffed at me saying the schools had no money to fix it.
If I had a bathroom at home in that condition, the same Social services would have no problem with removing my chidren from my home.
I'll bet there were doors on the bathrooms the teachers used, thought.
I wouldn't use the bathroom in school all day because of the smoking and drug use. To this day, I drive my family crazy because I never want to stop when we're driving somewhere!
***....The new Gibbs cost $58-million, the most expensive school ever built in Pinellas County. It has everything. It has 2,300 students. Four in 10 are poor. Four in 10 won't graduate. An anonymous letter went to the superintendent on Dec. 15. The authors claimed to be "very disgusted teachers."
They wrote: "Here is a list of some of the outrageous things going on: Students defecating on the floors and in the sinks in the bathroom. Students having such terrible fights everywhere that their food was taken away. Students setting aerosol cans on fire. . . . Every other word is f---, s---."...*** http://www.sptimes.com/2007/02/11/Floridian/Class_dismissed.shtml
