Elementary School ‘Pay to Potty’ Rule Outrages Parents
WRIC,com ^ | May 21, 2014 | WRIC Newsroom

A third-grade teacher at Mill Plain Elementary School is in hot water after she was accused of going too far by asking students to pay to potty.

Students in the class earn Monopoly play money through good behavior and performance that they can then spend on toys, treats and using the restroom.

Last week, two parents complained that their children wet themselves at school because they couldn’t “afford” to go to the bathroom. Officials in the Evergreen School District are investigating the claim.

“My daughter finally told me, ‘We have to pay to use the bathroom,’” said parent Merchon Ortega. “Nobody should have to pay to use the bathroom.”

Gail Spolar, a spokeswoman for the district answered, “It’s all part of how they manage the classroom and so that was the process that was decided upon.”

Unbelievable. Or maybe it is in this Age of Obama.

There are other/better ways to handle “excessive” potty trips.

Sure thing. If teacher won’t let you go “to the bathroom” without paying - Unzip it, whip it out, pee on her leg.

You didn’t go “to the bathroom”.

She’ll let you go REAL quick after that first time.

Guaranteed.

We homeschool, and had a problem for a while with using “gotta go potty” as an excuse to delay or get out of work.

Children will pull that. Of course, there’s a huge difference between a parent accounting for it and the teacher doing it.

In the old Catholic schools of my childhood, you practically had to be dying to get a pass to the bathroom. Or “lavatory” as it was called. Many a nun ended up with a very wet desk and a very wet child.

NO another sneaky way to TAX!

Memphis is making people pay to fix their own broken side walks or be fined big $$. These technically belong to the city, even though they are on Your Property. In many places it would cost thousands of $$ to do so. Seniors can’t afford it.

This is a city that does not repave their broken, pot filled side streets, only the major use roads.
