Wibu to go see dd teacher tomorrow?

[Spiceroots]

Dd is 7 and in yr3.

She's a really friendly, outgoing child who rarely makes a fuss unnecessarily.

She tells me that today her class teacher wouldn't let her go to the toilet because she (the teacher) was about to start story time.

So dd held on until home time by which time she was very uncomfortable and had a nasty tummy ache.

I'm not thrilled with this teacher, she is very very immature and uninvolved with the children in her class. Lots of examples in this first half term
I haven't discussed how I feel about her with dd, although dd has mentioned several instances where I feel this teacher was unfair, when I have tried to steer dd into thinking more positively about this teacher.
She seems to be unpopular across the board with all the kids, not just dd.

I would like to go in and speak to her about today, dd doesn't want me to get involved just yet because she is scared her teacher will get upset with her, and feels she can cope with the situation right now.

So wibu to go in tomorrow anyway?

When I need to poo in need to go very soon after. Thirty minutes and I would be in agony and possibly soil myself. There are many people like this and I remember feeling like this sometimes as a child. I think it is cruel to make children wait like that.

I think it's inhuman to stop someone going to toilet when they need to go because it runs the risk of urinary tract infections from holding it too long and having accidents which is humiliating. I think that asking a student to hold on until explanations are over is fine as usually they take 10 - 15 minutes but any longer then that is unfair. Speaking from experience, when I need to go I really really need to go and couldn't hold it much longer than ten minutes.
