London:
Many teachers in Britain are fretting and frowning to notice how
parents are sending their kids to schools even without
toilet-training.
Teachers have reported a huge rise in primary pupils wetting
themselves in class as they are unable to use the loo, the Sun
reported.
A whopping 62 percent of the staff noticed more toilet "accidents"
in junior classes in the last five years, according to a survey.
This statistics rose to 71 percent among those working with three
to five-year-olds.
One disgruntled teacher said: "Parents do not spend the time
toilet-training their children - they feel it is the school's
job."
When the Association of Teachers and Lecturers quizzed 900
members, most of them complained the problem was worsening.
