Please help sign this petition to make it a law that teachers must grant permission to students to use the bathroom. Being someone who is in need of the bathroom quite frequently, I know what it is like to be in school & need to use the bathroom and have a teacher say "no." It prevents concentration, effects grades in the bad way, & is also very bad for children's health.
I understand cheating is a huge factor, so at least require students to leave their cell phones on the teachers desks.
For test days, make it that students use the restroom if necessary before the exam starts to prevent cheating. If a student is making some sort of a cheat sheet, a teacher should be able to catch them with it in class if they are paying attention enough.
Help our children.
