New York: Students at a suburban Chicago high school will have to hold it or risk staying after school.
A policy at Evergreen Park High School allows students to leave class three times per semester to go to the restroom. After that, they have to make up any missed class time after school.
Principal Bill Sanderson tells the (Tinley Park) SouthtownStar that the policy is designed to make sure that students don’t miss valuable class time. He says it deters them from using restroom visits as an excuse to miss class.

But parents have reacted with anger, suggesting that prohibiting when their children can go to the toilet is unfair, and even potentially dangerous.
Students argued that with breaks of only five minutes in between lessons, there was often not enough time to relieve themselves.
