'Teachers Aren't To Change Diapers': Lack Of Potty-Training Raises Concern In Swiss Schools

Teachers in Switzerland have voiced their concerns about the increasing number of older students wearing diapers to school. During an interaction with 20 Minuten, Dagmar Rosler, the head of the Swiss Federation of Teachers stressed the fact that kids begin to go to school at an early age. However, the situation turns problematic for both teachers and students when older children depend on diapers and haven’t received potty training. The federation does understand the fact that children in primary school wear diapers due to medical conditions like autism. What’s necessary is to choose the right words, schedule your kids’ potty breaks, and explain the importance of hygiene before eventually ditching the diapers.
