TikToker slams teacher for \u201ccharging\u201d students to use the bathroom TIKTOK: mommastattoosA TikToker went viral after blasting her daughter\u2019s teacher for allegedly \u201ccharging\u201d her students to use the bathroom. Content creator Desi Eleazar Hoffman took to TikTok to call out her 11-year-old daughter\u2019s science teacher, \u201cMrs. Garett,\u201d who supposedly \u201ccharges\u201d students to use the bathroom. Desi said Mrs. Garrett has allegedly implemented a classroom \u201creward system\u201d that allows students to earn \u201cGarrett dollars,\u201d which they can cash in to borrow supplies, make up for a tardy, or to use the bathroom. In the viral video with over 1.6 million views, she explains the system, including the fact that students can allegedly earn \u201cGarrett dollars\u201d in various ways, including asking their parents to donate classroom supplies. \u201cI get it, it\u2019s hard for teachers out here these days,\u201d Desi said. \u201cBut there are low-income families who can\u2019t afford this, so I feel like [their kids] have [fewer] opportunities than the kids [whose families] can, and those kids shouldn\u2019t have [fewer] opportunities to use the bathroom.\u201d The TikToker also said that regardless of how students earn \u201cGarrett dollars,\u201d they \u201cshould not have to barter with [their] reward cash for rights to use the restroom.\u201d She revealed that she sent an email to Mrs. Garrett to let her know know that her daughter will be using the bathroom whenever she wants, whether or not she has any \u201cGarrett dollars.\u201d TikTok users react to teacher charging students to use the bathroom Many TikTok users agreed that students shouldn\u2019t have to earn bathroom \u201cprivileges,\u201d arguing that schools need to implement better bathroom policies. \u201cAs a teacher I completely agree. Restroom breaks aren\u2019t something to negotiate for,\u201d one user commented. \u201cThis is my 11th year teaching & I never tell a child no to use the bathroom. It is not a privilege to go to the bathroom,\u201d another wrote. \u201cI have never ever in my life understood this! Going to the restroom isn\u2019t a reward it\u2019s a basic human necessity,\u201d a third user added. \u201cThe way bathroom usage is handled in schools needs to change,\u201d someone else shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
