Two 9-year-old students in Vancouver, Washington were deeply embarrassed last week after a classroom policy led to them urinating on themselves.

The policy, implemented by a third-grade teacher at Mill Plain Elementary, forces children to pay $50 in Monopoly money in order to use the restroom. Children receive the fake cash for good behavior and can also choose to buy pizza, popcorn and toys.
Jasmine Al-Ayadhi, whose daughter Reem wet herself, says she supports children learning the value of money but argues that the bathroom policy goes too far.
“When it comes to a bathroom issue, when a child has to pay money to use the bathroom, that’s wrong,” Al-Ayadhi told KATU News. “It’s inhumane. That’s a health issue.”
Al-Ayadhi says Reem, who was down to her last $50, desperately wanted to buy popcorn with her friends and attempted to wait until after class to use the bathroom.
“OK, if you want to use the bathroom it’s going to cost you $50, but then you don’t have money to buy popcorn,” Al-Ayadhi said. “What do you think a child’s going to do?”
Reem, who had no choice but to now change into boys’ basketball shorts provided by the school, says she was then picked on by fellow students.
“It didn’t feel so well because I had to wear boy pants and I did get teased,” Reem said.
Despite being told that she would be contacted by the school’s principal on Friday, Al-Ayadhi says she only heard from the school after a second child came forward Monday.
Merchon Ortega, whose daughter Lilliana wet herself that same day, was visibly upset with the policy as well.
“What kind of kid is going to spend money to go to the bathroom? No child should have to pay to use the restroom, Ortega said. “Are you kidding me? That’s absolutely insane.”
Ortega, who had to change into a used pair of clothes also, says she felt humiliated as well.
“It makes me feel kind of horrible in somebody else’s pants and undies,” Lilliana said.
The teacher-in-question was not seen at the school Monday, reportedly on leave while an investigation is underway.
This is a school,” Al-Ayadhi said. “This isn’t a jail. This isn’t a prison. We send our kids to school to learn and to get a good education.”

Parents Outraged Over School Bathroom Policy After 3rd Graders Wet Pants

VANCOUVER, Wash. - A group of furious parents are outraged at Mill Plains Elementary School for their “pay-to-potty” policy that charges students fake money for the privilege of using the bathroom. This lesson on money management may have gone too far.
Nine-year-old Reem Al-Ayadhi had an embarrassing accident when she didn’t have the 50 “dollars” required to use the school bathroom. She spent her fake dollars on popcorn like everyone else in the 3rd-grade classroom, her mother told KATU.
3rd-grader Reem had to wear a change of clothes provided by the school, a pair of royal blue boys basketball shorts. Reem said the other kids laughed at her for having an accident and wearing boys clothes.
“It didn’t feel so well because I had to wear boy pants and I did get teased,” Reem said.
Students earn fake money by doing good deeds, being nice, or performing well on school work, which they can choose to spend on treats—but also to use the bathroom if a situation arises. This lesson in money management might be doing more harm than good.



Some parents view this potty police as cruel and unnecessary.

“When it comes to using the bathroom, having to hold her pee, and if she wants to use the bathroom, you make a choice,” mother Jasmine Al-Ayadhi said. “OK, if you want to use the bathroom it’s going to cost you $50, but then you don’t have money to buy popcorn. What do you think a child’s going to do?”
Learning money management shouldn’t come at the expense of a child’s health, the angry mom said.
“This is a school,” Al-Ayadhi said. “This isn’t a jail. This isn’t a prison. We send our kids to school to learn and to get a good education.”
A substitute teacher is filling in while the teacher is under investigation.
