Rejected petition Let secondary school children go to the toilet during lesson!!
Make it illegal for teachers to not let secondary school children to go to the toilet during lesson.
More details
Everyone needs to pee. Girls have periods. If you hold in your waste, you may see Hemorrhoids, Anal fissures, bladder / genital infection, general pain, and even your bladder bursting. Girls, with periods, will all know, that having to get a 'toilet pass' or a 'red pass' to be allowed to go to the toilet, is humiliating, and scary. My school has banned toilet passes for girls, unless they have a medical issue now. Please make every 11-16 year old happy, and heard, and let us go to the toilet.
