Unisex Primary Toilets

"What is the big deal about toilets? Don't most people have unisex toilets? Does everyone have at least two at home, marked "His" and "Hers" like embroidered pillowcases? You go in, close the door, lock it and do your business. I would be more concerned that the little boys using the toilet would be less than clean and wonder who was cleaning the toilet and how often."

I don't live with strangers.
I have a bathroom with a full door, with no gap at the bottom or top.
I don't fear anyone that I share my private home with.

None of that applies in public or school toilets. Which you know very well. But by all means, continue to try and make out that a desire for single sex facilities is just Pearl clutching.

Could you confirm where you are?

There's not much point in referring to the laws, best practice and actual practice in one jusrisdiction if you are in a different one (and unit 1 isn't a typical term anywhere in UK)

I can see why it is a Covid restriction - keeping all of one class in the same loo rather than having mixing in common facilities thus creating a bigger bubble.

Is it a cubicle only set of loos?

Do you share your bathroom with 60 other people?

Kids aren't legally entitled to single sex toilets until 8 unfortunately.

But I would assume if they are unisex they still have ro abide by the regs which would mean that if there are gaps under the doors and a shared sink they probabky arent lawful.

Whats the set up do you know?

Are they built built mixed sex units or have they just changed the sign on the door

The law in England says that at age 8 and over toilets in schools should be separated by sex.
At mine, DD had periods at 9, so separate loos helped. Reception (4 year olds) had its own toilet attached to that classroom. Year one upwards was separated by “Key Stage” and sex. And separate adult/visitor toilets.

What country are you in?

In my DD school they have a glass wall to the corridor and fitted doors so you can't see over or under them in the unisex loos - there are other choices if single sex toilets though

What age is Unit 1? I’m sure my kids had mixed sex toilets at primary until year 5 or so. Unless the boys are trying to look under the door etc or the doors don’t lock then I’m not sure why she feels she can’t go.
