Teacher suspended after denying restroom break to student
Associated Press
CLEARWATER, Fla. — A Florida high school teacher who refused to let a student go to the restroom has been recommended for suspension.
The student instead used a trash can to relieve himself in a classroom closet.
The Pinellas County school system says Lesley Campbell violated school policy in November by unnecessarily embarrassing the high school junior.
Campbell says the teen-ager indicated he might use the trash can if she didn't let him go, but says she was astonished when he actually grabbed the can and headed for the closet.
Campbell teaches English and has taught at Clearwater High 20 years. She's requested a hearing on the recommended suspension.
