Toilet Training

  • Posted: July 5th, 2008 - 6:04pm by Doug Powell

    Australia’s Courier Mail reports that children as old as five are being sent to school in nappies because their parents cannot be bothered toilet-training them.

    The problem has become so widespread that Education Queensland is drawing up a toilet-training fact sheet amid calls from teachers' groups that nappy-wearing children be banned from attending school. …

    State School Principals Association president Norm Hart has written to Education Queensland, citing concerns that the problem could result in litigation - with teachers possibly accused of molestation.

    "Toilet training is a parental responsibility and not something that should be taught at school.”
