An unimpeachable source!
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
Rewards for holding it in.
Becky.... ? What was he last name?
She wet her pants and her desk and it puddled on the floor in the third grade.
Her brother was Doug I’m pretty sure.
They want our kids to just be Another Brick in the Wall
Strongly suggest this be implemented at all government buildings for all civil service employees. Each employee will be issued a tag bracelet to keep track of their movements. Any employee spending more that five minutes away from their desk will be fined $100 the first time and $500 the second time. Three time losers will be terminated immediately.
Is this satire?
IF not, they need to add an extra column to the report card: bathroom time. Those with lowest times get a trophy at the end of the year. Everyone else will win a trophy, too, so no one will feel left out.
Geez, now the control of students bodily functions.
Hang in there kids for another lincoln or reagan to set you free.
The CPS is trying to improve their numbers but it won't work. It's not about bathroom breaks. Its about certain peoples not giving a damn about education or improving themselves.
Interesting. I didn’t know there was a town in North Korea named Chicago.
"Yay, Johnny! Way to piddle!"
Bring back recess
we used to have three recesses, 10 AM, 12 noon and 1:30 PM
Having attended a catholic grade school in the 50s where you had a bathroom break twice a day I can say that as a little kid having to desparately pee it definitely removes all semblance of learning. Your mind focuses on one and only one thing and that is holding it in at all costs.
On the plus side, I developed an iron bladder or as we called it a “catholic” bladder. On the down side, I know that it made school a less than happy experience.
Idiot teachers.

I bet prisoners at Guantanamo dont have such restrictions. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that not letting someone go to the bathroom when they need to is considered a form of coercion or torture.
With GPS tracking on each student, teachers can now avoid problems of students getting the restroom pass to wander the hallways. With enough resolution you can even tell if little Johnny is a stander or sitter and whether he spent enough time at the sink afterwards. < /I wish it was sarcasm>
These words always appear in heasdlines: School officials, Chicago, Failure.
The strict time limits remind me of a survivor’s account I read by a former inmate of Treblinka, one of the most hideous of the Nazi extermination camps. That individual was a member of the Sondercommando, a group of inmates allowed to live in return for disposing of the bodies of those who had been gassed. The amount of time each Sondercommando member cold take going to the toilet was just about as closely restricted as the times for these kids are.
Don’t think common core has anything to do with it. Wife worked at a school, if one kid says he/she need to use the restroom, then they all need to. spreads like wildfire around a classroom.
So in a way I can see some reasoning behind this, but you can’t maximize your time if you got to send a kid to the nurse or get a custodian in the room for a clean up.
When I was a kid in elementary school, our classrooms each had their own bathroom inside the classroom. Just an enclosed loo with a low utility sink and long counter next to it. Every class had a drinking fountain on one end of that utility sink as well. This was in the sixties.
Which was a pretty darn handy set up for the K-3 classes in general. By sixth grade you would’t be caught dead using the classroom toilet, but waited for recess to use the one down the hall.
I really feel sorry for kids today. Schools are designed like prisons instead of convenient spaces for children.
