What the petition asks
I Go to upper school and all schools where I live do not allow kids to go to the toilet while in lesson but say go at break. I and many other disagree as sometimes you randomly need the toilet and when you are uncomfortable you are put off learning so it is your right to learn the best way.
There is a proven Scientific Study that shows when a child is uncomfortable eg needing the toilet they are not able to concentrate on their work,so intern they do not learn.
I am also going to conduct a experiment to see for myself the difference.
