Doughnuts in the school toilet

Just had a chat with my two kids, boy age 15 and girl age 13.

They told me that they hardly ever use the loos at school because they are so disgusting. They don't drink all day so they don't need to go.

The whole school only has 45 mins for lunch, there's nowhere to sit so kids eat their lunch in the loos.

There's food in the toilets and urinals, floating sandwiches, crisp packets, cakes 🤮 Some of the toilets don't lock and there's often no loo roll.

My daughter avoids using the loo even when she's on her period.

Is it unreasonable to expect my daughter to be able to have a reasonably clean toilet to use at school?

We used to have a MEGA scary deputy head who prowled the corridors and breathed fire if anyone was messing about! "Green's coming" was enough to make anyone scarper!

Every school should have one 🤣

Why can’t they sit in their form rooms? That’s where we always used to sit. Our school had about 800 people in it but the canteen probably sat 200 at a push. You just had to make it work 🤷‍♀️ I would never have eaten my lunch in the bogs, how stupid.

Because you would need to employ a lunch time supervisor for every single form room

@Pate101 we had a scary nun as headmistress. Wouldn’t dare smoke in the loos if she was on patrol!
