The kids at our preschool have the little potties located in the back of the room pretty much out in the open. No problems, no complaints. Our children do not appear too traumatized. I think this is totally overblown. Kids are a little more flexible than adults when it comes to humility.

Another good point. Preschoolers seem more mortified that they have wet themselves, then peeing in an open stall.

Same when my son was in preschool.

I think we don't know enough about this story. How old was the child? What were the circumstances?

I tend to think that the teacher probably thought this was a solution to a problem (not letting the child pee her pants) rather than something perverse. Thus, "lapse in judgment" makes sense to me.

BS......this is ridiculous and insane....

you start early with kids teaching them modesty and the fact that their "private parts" are afterall, private....

I suppose you would feel differant if the child had to have a BM in front of others....

geesh.....where's the common sense anymore.....
