Teacher Refused to Let a Girl Go to the Bathroom

So earlier this year, I went back to visit one of my old Sixth Form classes. While I was sitting in, this girllet’s call her Maisiepolitely asked if she could go to the loo, but the teacher just said no. She asked again, really politely, but he refused her once more.

A few minutes pass, Maisie says now it’s urgent, but the teachers just not having any of itclearly getting annoyed, you could just tell. After about another five minutes, Maisie asks again, saying she really needs to go because something urgent just happened. He pretty much snapped at her with a harsh No.

So Maisie stands up, everyone stares at her, shes bright red and mortified, but she still saysright in front of the whole classSir, Ive just started my period. I absolutely have to go to the bathroom.

You could practically hear a pin drop. After a few really awkward seconds, the teacher just tells her to sit back down and refuses againcompletely out of order. You could feel how uncomfortable everyone was.

Then, this ladJack, you know the type, built like he belongs on the school football teamgets up and calls out, Sir, do you not have a wife? Didnt you grow up with a mum or a sister? Shes on her period, she needs the loo, and shes going whether you say yes or not.

He walks over, takes Maisies hand and leads her right out of the classroom to the toiletsnobody said a word. When they came back, the teacher started going on about how rude theyd both been, having a proper go at Jack. Honestly, that days stuck with me ever since.

Jack turned out to be more of a grown-up than that teacher ever was.
