Rejected petition Stop Schools from not allowing children to go to the toilet during lessons.

Teachers stop children from using the toilet during lessons, not only does this cause discomfort it can also have effects on your medical health, leading to weakening bladder muscles and could cause incontinence (wetting yourself). This is not ok, people in the workplace can, so why can't students?
