Rejected petition Allow students the right to go to the toilet - without being questioned.
Rejected on
Students should be allowed the right to go the bathroom without teachers questioning them or saying no. We have a right to go to the toilet when we need to and shouldn't have this right taken away by a school policy.
Teachers often refuse to let girls go even when they explain they are on their period. When a student explains they need the toilet, a teacher often says no and claims the child is trying to skip class. The school says you can't go unless desperate yet teachers refuse to believe we are desperate.
