To think school should do better about this

My DD is in primary school and has been telling me that the toilets are always flooded, over flowing, always wee on the floors and no soap in the dispensers so they can't wash their hands properly. No wonder bugs are going round. Aibu to think the school should be checking them more often if they get left like this?

You are not being unreasonable expecting better from a state education system.

You are unreasonable for expecting that the pittance per child schools are funded with, and the level of staffing to support the demands of current additional needs, can stretch to full time janitor (as we had in my small primary school in the 80s).

What fund should be taken from to cover this service? What staff should be responsible for the toilets?

OP welcome to primary school life. There is always a spate of kids who think it’s funny to out too much loo paper down the toilet. No soap can be kids using too much etc. Yeah it needs to be addressed but doesn’t necessarily mean the school is crap (no pun intended). .

Yes that's unacceptable and unhygienic. Kids should be able to access clean toilets where they don't get covered in wee and are able to wash their hands properly. Surely there's a caretaker.
