"You have a break before the class, a 50 minute class and a break afterward. How many students REALLY need to go to the bathroom once every 25 minutes?"

While I might be inclined to agree, in fairness, the "break" is really a 3 minute time to get to your next class. Depending on how big the school is, it might be hard to get to the next class during that time, even without a potty break.

But I do agree that our national obsession with being properly hydrated is creating a nation of frequent pee-ers.

But the idea of telling kids when they can and can't relieve themselves bothers me. I wouldn't think that such overreaching would be necessary. Frequent peeing was never I problem when I was in school.

Urination that required the student to leave class was often a blatant excuse for the goofoffs to leave class. They knew that it wouldn't work more than a few times, but since then discipline is practically non-existant in public schools.
