    takes stock.

What if “4-year-olds” could no longer go to the bathroom at their request during class due to Covid-19?

The photo of a message pasted in a notebook has been relayed on social networks by many Internet users for a few days.

"The sanitary protocol does not allow us to go to the toilets at the request of the children", indicates the word of information, probably written by a teacher.

"We can not cross the other classes", justifies the author, who asks parents to "ensure that [the] children go to the toilet at home before coming to school".

The user who posted the message on Facebook says that "the class concerned is a middle section, that is to say children of 4 years".

The establishment would be located "Villefranche".

In the comments, other people denounce these instructions.

“Potty training and especially forcing 4-year-olds to hold back… It can cause bladder problems, urinary tract infections….

FAKE OFF

The message was indeed distributed by a teacher from the Lamartine school, in Villefranche-sur-Saône (Rhône).

, the rectorate explained that this was a misinterpretation of the health protocol: “It is an initiative specific to the teacher.

She wanted to do well, however we regret the lack of dialogue with the team.

"

At the request of the academy inspector, the director of the establishment issued a correction entitled "cancel and replace" in the students' notebook.

In this school as elsewhere, young children "can go to the toilet on demand".
