Sorry Kildaremum. Do you really have to have all your postings signed with a business website that has absolutely nothing to do with the matter in question? It does not look right and one would have to question your motives in doing so.

Its like any other signature, you dont actually see it when replying and its certainly not meant to offend anyone but there to make people aware I am supplying books if required.

I see the earlier signature has been removed and I think that is for the best.
On the subject of toilet breaks, it was obviously something that was brought in for a very specific reason. When such rules are advocated, however, there is or should always be flexibility for emergencies.
It´s obvious that toilet breaks are something can can be completely abused by some students and I´ve heard some horror stories of the kind of pranks some kids try to get up to the moment they get out of class. It´s really unfortunate if schools have to take difficult action to counteract such situations though but from what I´ve heard, I can see why. Children should know that they can always go in an emergency. The difficulty is that some kids could have several emergencies every day!
