We were out earlier and saw some twins (probably 7/8), they'd just been bought some lovely things from a nearby stall at a fair and were queuing for candy floss. One demanded the candy floss, other shouted that they didn't want candy floss. Then the one with the candy floss shoved the things they had been bought at the adult with them and shouted 'take this or else' - none of the adults even batted an eyelid and just accepted it.

I was surprised that the parents didn't react at all to it, not even looking annoyed or irritated.

Quite interesting, be careful who you tut at! You might be the one who gets put into a futute ‘mental institution’!

Kettle I see your point! Me too! I give up! No one ever changes their views!

‘Superhuman 2.0’ is pretty absurd in many respects, don’t like some of the language used etc. However I like the premises and hope if there ever is, ‘nt’ people get to experience a world run by those with disabilities! Let’s hope it’s a bit more understanding and tolerant of all Smile

LaurenTeacher Those rude comments from children at your school are not acceptable. I do not condone any nasty rude comments children make, and hope you did feedback this behaviour to their parents and an apology letter was writen either at school, or at home and brought to school.

Could I ask what your current consequences are for nasty comments?

Regarding witholding being able to go to the toilet; I understand that the class can not be interrupted.
However, if an adult wants to get up and leave a meeting and politely excuses themselves, you would never hold them back. An adult at work would never be told they can't go to the toilet. It is simply the size and rank of the child that allows teachers to risk the child pissing themselves This would make even the best of us quite stressed and angry, squirming in our chair, desperate for the toilet. Could teachers work together with parents and send note home that the child is constantly asking for the toilet?
