PAY BATHROOMS IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL?

Whoever came up with this idea needs their head examined! So, apparently, a teacher at an elementary school in Texas rewards good behavior with something called "Boyd Bucks," which is fake money that is required for trips to the bathroom. Well, Sonja Cross was outraged after her 7-year-old son was forced to pee in his pants and suffer ridicule because he couldn't afford to pay for a trip to the restroom. Can you blame her?  If your child came home with pee in his or her pants because they weren't allowed to go to the bathroom, wouldn't you be a little 'pissed off'? No pun intended!

Cross says that she was absolutely appalled to learn that her son's teacher makes students 'pay' to use the bathroom. The J.O. Davis Elementary teacher, who remains nameless, required students to pay for trips to the toilet with what was called "Boyd Bucks," fake money that the first-year instructor uses to reward the children for good behavior. Didn't anyone tell this teacher that when you have to go, you have to go! Besides, when has anyone ever had to pay to use the bathroom? I can see doing this to an adult who can probably hold their pee, but a child? Isn't this a form of child abuse? Cross said that she found out about this unusual system after her son wet his pants during school because he didn't have enough "Boyd Bucks" to go on a bathroom run! Cross explained, "Really? That's just unhealthy!" Not to mention, her young son came home crying because his fellow classmates started teasing him, prompting Cross to demand the teacher end the stupid reward system. 

 Cross said that when she originally spoke with the teacher, she was just going to show my son special treatment, but then she said that wasn't good enough because she wanted this reward system stopped for all the children. Cross then spoke to administrators at the Dallas-area school who told the unidentified teacher to do away with the system for bathroom trips, at the very least. Administrators say that the teacher will not face any disciplinary action, though Cross says she's thinking about asking that the instructor be suspended. 

Though, I'm not against the whole reward system idea, I am against teachers not allowing students especially kids to not got to the bathroom. That is just wrong and unhealthy. A child's bladder is small and not as strong as our adult bladders. I think that Miss Cross is in the right to be outraged and this teacher should be disciplined for her actions especially because she's a rookie teacher. This whole thing 'pisses' me off!
