[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 392771, member: 1514"] Oh this brings back nightmares from HS sophomore year. My classes that year were fairly spread out during a particular time...I think we only had 6 classes a day back then plus lunch. I know that this particular problem arose because I had one class at the very end of the building on one side then had to walk all the way over to the other side of the building and up to the second story on that side for a biology class. Like your son we only had 5 minutes. It wasnt a huge deal except for....that time of the month! I had to use the restroom at that time religiously every day during that time of the month or it was a problem. I had bad periods. Teachers refused to understand. I kept getting demerits for being tardy. I tried to be nice and explain. I got doctors notes. Nothing helped. Well in true difficult child fashion I got snippy. When they tried to suspend me for the demerits, I went to the vice principal and told him exactly why I only got demerits during that one time a month and said he could suspend me if he could prove to me that HE could make the same trip doing the same thing I had to do during that time of the month. AND I didnt mean just go potty. I told him he had to leave a classroom on the end of the east wall, walk all the way to where my classroom was, drop my books, go to the restroom, take down his clothing, sit down, relieve himself, remove one pad, wrap it up, put on a new pad, stand up, redress, wash hands, make sure he looked ok and then come back to class ....all in 5 minutes. He couldnt do it. Not even close. I rested my case. [/QUOTE]
