Thread in GD:

Student disciplined for unauthorized potty break

A 12-year-old Klein ISD student is facing one month in an alternative campus as punishment for relieving himself in a water bottle after his teacher refused to let him leave class to use the rest room, according the boys' attorney.

On Jan. 13, the seventh-grader repeatedly asked the teacher if he could go to the bathroom and he was denied, said Houston attorney Bill Hawkins. The teacher also told him she would write him up as truant if he left the classroom, he said.

"The really outrageous part is that she told him, "I hope you pee on yourself,"" Hawkins said.

He said the student's parents, who do not want their names released, contacted him last week to appeal the school's decision. An appeal hearing is scheduled Wednesday, he said.

District officials on Tuesday declined to discuss the case, but released a written statement.
