Still in nappies at school

[ivehearditallthistime]

As the title says some children at 4-5 and 6 years old are going to school in nappies and are still not potty toilet trained.
I understand that some will and still have accidents at night and during the day.

But to have a child at that age still in nappies is just laziness.
It is not a teachers job to change nappies is it.
Ive just got back from my sisters whos son has a 4&5 year old still in nappies the school said he or the mum will have to come in school to change them as the teachers will not.

They now think this is all wrong and it is the teachers job.
And are removing both kids from school one does half day and going to home school.
I said no its your job stop being so f=ing lazy if home schooling is anything like your potty training good luck.

My eldest sister a teacher agrees with it and said this is happing more and more now.
A mum in her school has taken her child out of school because teachers will not change her childs nappy hes almost 6.
Said mum had a rant at the school because the school reported it to SS.

Dose anyone agree this is just lazy parenting now.

Definitely agree with others that the shift from cloth nappies to disposables has made a massive difference in potty training age. As @menopausalmare says, cloth nappies are a hassle and so potty training becomes about parental readiness as much as children's! But I wonder if another factor is about parents having to literally get their hands dirty. When you're used to picking up cloth nappies and putting them in the washing machine, or sloshing off poo-y nappies in the loo, cleaning up after accidents whilst potty training is no biggie. Cleaning wee off the floor is less effort than changing and washing a cloth nappy. So while we did used to potty train younger, standards have probably changed too. Cloth nappy users in ye olden days - we didn't expect there not to be mess, mess was part of the deal. My three were all in cloth nappies (teens and young adults now, so I was seen as terribly old fashioned using terry squares in the early 2000s), and all potty trained daytime by age 3 with one with some SEN. Night-time is completely different, one took until age 10 to crack that and I was very glad of the disposable nappies then.

But then, cloth nappies are a pain when both parents are working. It was easy for me because I didn't have a job then, and I didn't plan ahead and now I don't have a career. Tricky, I don't think there is a good answer.

It still isn’t the teachers responsibility.

That's exactly what pp said.
