Health and School: Walk out

Walk out

Today, I'd started dialysis and the cap at the end of my PD tube came off. It’s meant to stop infection, and it’s filled with betadine. I said I had to go to the office. My teacher wouldn’t let me, so I walked out of class. I got detention for trying to prevent getting a major infection. FML

Today, I had a nasty cough, but I went to college anyway. When I walked into class, I could practically smell menstrual blood in the air. After a few coughs, our instructor gave me an "Oh, shut up!" After half an hour, she kicked me out for not "taking the class seriously". FML

Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML

Today, I had to pee during a supervised lockdown. I asked my teacher to take me since we couldn't be in the halls alone. Since class was going, she couldn't take me. Much to my dismay, she sent a school-wide email asking for someone to take me to pee. Six teachers took me, including my principal. FML

Today, I explained to my teacher that I wasn't at school yesterday due to three doctor appointments for my moderate epilepsy. Yesterday was senior skip day. She gave me detention for lying. FML

Today, I saw some pretty heinous graffiti on the urinal stall at school, so I opted to scribble it out. A supervisor came in the second the pen touched the stall. Now I have detention and have to scrub the entire stall clean as a "lesson". FML

Today, I picked up a rock outside and put it in my pocket because it looked cool. A teacher holding the door open stopped me and sent me to the principal. I was confused and asked the teacher why the strict action. She replied that someone has been putting rocks in the toilet. I got a detention. FML

Mystery unwanted gift

Today, I came back from school camp and really had to go to the toilet. I ran to the nearest one, which was by the principal's office. After I finished, I tried to flush the button. Turns out the water was turned off so it wouldn't flush. I bolted. The principal is now stuck with my unwanted present. FML

Today, I was in English class when I had to use the bathroom. As I was signing out, the teacher said, "Don't forget the hall pass!" It was a plunger. I had to walk across the school with a plunger. FML

Today, I was feeling adventurous and decided to freeball it to school. As I went to sit down during first class, I managed to sit on my own balls, scream, then collapse on the floor gasping. My teacher thought I was screwing around and gave me detention. FML

Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them".

Make sure you go talk to the school principal or the dean whoever is the head of the school and if that doesn't work go to the school board and make a formal complaint. What that teacher did violates HIPAA laws and I bet the school district probably also has policies and places well that that violates.

Most likely ADA would apply more, since it's medical - they're required to make reasonable accommodations for disabilities, and they could get sued for not. I'd say "letting you go to the doctor for life-saving treatment" counts as a reasonable accommodation. This is lawyer time though.

If you’re in the US, sue them! If you’re in the UK knock the teacher out and then go to the board of directors/news and local MP

Sounds like you got detention for not communicating correctly the urgency or that you were going for medical reasons not a trip to the office

If this happened to my son/daughter, I would be right up to the school, demanding why this was allowed to happen and why the teacher thought it was okay to stop a student going to the bathroom. unfortunately this is a common issue, which, as a parent, I do not allow. I have told my kids (and my twin sister's kids) that if they have a teacher who does not allow them to use the bathroom when they need to, to let me know immediately.

If you are in the US, one option would be to go talk to a lawyer (if you’re a minor, with your parents) and see if this is an issue. I normally think going straight to suing is ridiculous, but in this case, it sounds like it could be violation of the ADA for not providing reasonable accommodation. I’m not a lawyer nor in health care, although I take a basic form of yearly ADA training for work, which is why I’m thinking it sounds like one. A professional would be able to confirm/deny for certain. At the very least, you NEED to go the dean/principal of the school and report what happened directly to them. That teacher needs to be written up and shown that this is not acceptable behavior. And if for some reason the dean/principal doesn’t care…I bet your local news would love to hear about this, lol.

That’s suck. I’m on hemo dialysis. Hope everything is ok. Talk to the principal about your situation. Have the doctors called them to inform them about how dangerous an infection can be.
