More children wearing diapers to Australian schools

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.”

It seems to me that this is a serious health issue. If a child shows up wearing diapers, my first concern would be with the health of the other children. I know that my little ones - both under two - fill their diapers up very quickly.
