I know someone who was also denied use of the bathroom when he was a first grader. He was told to hold it until later, but he couldn't. The teacher was more concerned with some sort of authoritarian display than she was about the child's physical and emotional health. Unfortunately, that’s not an uncommon story.

But she didn't use the correct words, so she was told, "No". So the girl asked about the rest room, the toilet, and the potty. Still the ?wrong" word. The girl couldn't wait so she pee'd in frnt of the class. The teacher admonished her for making a mess and told her to sit on the heater in the classroom until her pants dried. I have often wondered whatever happened to that 5 year old child who never knew to ask about using the Ladies Room. To this day, I can still remember how mortified I felt for her.
