Rejected petition Allow kids to go to the toilet during school lessons
Rejected on
It is unethical to stop children from going to the toilet during lesson times. Humans, no matter what age, should have the right to be able go to the toilet when they need to. Every animal on the planed has the need to releve themselves of wast products. Why should children be stripped of this right
I would like to see the government put into place an act that protects the rights of children, allowing them to be able to use the toilet when they feel they need to, preventing this ludicrous ideology that schools can force children to suffer or be punished for doing somthing that can not be physically stopped.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions on policies regarding when students can leave the classroom are a matter for individual schools and teachers, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
If you are unhappy with how a school or teacher deals with requests to use the toilet, you should raise this with the school or relevant local authority.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
