For several years, teachers have been struggling to keep their students focused in class. In more current times, this problem is brought to light again, as NEASC visits Staples High school.. Perhaps the biggest problem, is students leaving multiple times in every class, to go to the bathroom. This disrupts class time, and has negative effects on the student 's education, as they miss material while they leave class. It is in our nature to pee involuntarily, since the day we are born. We are mammals, do you see any other animal trying to manipulate their bladder? It is an unnatural act. Not only does it go against our human nature, it also sets us back in our ability to learn. Bathroom breaks during class take away from a successful education, …show more content…

Students leaving the classroom everyday, actually lack a strong education. Think about it this way, if you take a three minute break every day from a 45 minute class, and you have that class four times a week, by the end of the week you’ve missed twelve minutes.By the third week, you’ve missed an entire class period in minutes you’ve spent reliving yourself.

It also has to be a known fact that students do not always leave the classroom to use the restroom. Students use the bathroom as a way to get out of class and stop paying attention. The students look at the clock ticking away as it brings them closer to their freedom, they feel as though all time has stopped around them. Once students started leaving for more than ten minutes, it was the Trojan Horse to the fact that they were not actually going to the bathroom. Students are manipulative, and witty. Trust would not have to be equated, if diapers were used, if trust did not have to be equated classrooms would run more smoothly and classroom community would become more tight knit, thanks to the diapers. Teachers would not have to question their students running around the hallways, which is also a safety hazard. Teachers cannot account for every student wandering the hallway. If an emergency situation were to come up it would be impossible to locate some students, who have lied about their whereabouts. Now, not every child lies, but just because there is an exception to every group, just because diapers do not appeal to every student, just because some people would rather have freedom, our education system has to focus on the bigger picture, and what school is
