Thank you.

I started calling it X. I started to, but you inspired me.

I just can't.

Yeah.

It's you know how you get the thing in your thing in your throat.

I just know I can't do it, just can't do it.

It is that time and we close out the show every way, every day this way, 1152 kelvin.

It's time for this shouldn't be a thing.

If you ever have a thing you think should not be, please send it into Jane says, J-A-N-E-S-A-Y-S.

Jane says at civicmedia.us it can literally be anything from the world of animals from

nature from science from politics, you name it, we cover it in this shouldn't be a thing.

And this addition of this shouldn't be a thing is a serious one.

Oh, very important.

All right.

Comes to the world of education.

A California educator has been accused of cruelty after awarding bonus points to students

who don't take a bathroom break during class.

I wouldn't need to make sure I understand this correctly.

There's a teacher in California who has been getting in trouble with parents or is getting

higher from parents because this teacher is awarding extra credit points if their students

do if the student does not take a bathroom break during the class.

That seems not healthy.

That seems rather unhealthy.

Like I mean, we were all in high school once and I remember wanting to just get out

of class and can I go to the bathroom and it gives you some time for minutes to just

get yourself together and relax.

Right.

But there shouldn't be a points value.

I don't think I don't think you should get extra credit for not have I mean, if I don't

have to go to the bathroom, I shouldn't get a reward for that.

And if I have to go to the bathroom, I shouldn't be penalized for that.

I think that yeah, I would agree with you.

That just I mean, and I don't think it's just for people as they get older, but sometimes

if you wait too long, this can lead to other issues.

It's not healthy.

No, it's not.

Kelly.

Um, I don't know.

I doesn't seem like that big of an issue to me.

I'm going to play defending the teacher here.

I would assume that this is a problem in their classroom too many, too many kids are trying

to skip out.

They're sitting up all the time and going to the bathroom.

And the other thing is when I was in high school and middle school, we got the school

gave us these planners at the beginning of the year.

And in the back, they had passes on them.

And I know there were teachers who would give you extra credit based off if you had more

passes or less passes left off.

So it doesn't seem to that dissimilar to that.

But I know that's different though, but I still think that's if you, but you shouldn't

be penalized if you need something though, like you need a pass to go to the bathroom.

You need a pass to go make a phone call to your parents.

You need there.

You should be penalized if you are like, if you're caught smoking outside the high school

because you asked to go to the bathroom or you're doing something wrong.

But if someone has to use the restroom, then they used to use the restroom and they could

be a national honor society 4.3 GPA students.

That shouldn't count against them.

And I would think then too, this could lead to, well, now you have to have a bathroom

monitor go with you to make sure you're actually going to go, which would be probably,

I see that as problematic.

I do too.

It says in the article, the spizar test of vesicle fortitude didn't sit well with vesicle

fortitude.

I know.

It's someone someone went to Columbia J school.

Uh, they said it deemed it egregious and inhumane.

Now that to me is a little too far, like you can still go to the bathroom.

You can, you can go to the bathroom, but, but you won't get the extra points.

It's like a tournament, it's like a tournament of, of will, uh, and someone said, needing

to ask permission to use the bathroom as barbaric.

Well, you always had to ask permission.

You can't just, unless you're in college, that's where I first learned you could just

get up and go and leave if you wanted to Chris in Madison, listening on WMDX, hey,

when you got to go, you got to go.

This is ridiculous.

I don't disagree with that.

And I, if I was a parent and I found out, I'd be like, I wouldn't go insane or be truly

upset.

It's not going to keep my kid out of habit, but, you know, I think that, you know, if

they're a good student, even if they're a bad student, they got to go to the bathroom

over there.

It should be a thing.

And there you have it.

Today's.

This shouldn't be a thing.

I always want to hear from you.

If you have a thing, you think should not be sent it into Jane says at civicmedia.us.

Karina, we got about a minute and a half left.

Go ahead.

Um, hi, guys.

Maybe I didn't hear from the beginning from you, but she's not analyzing anybody.

She is just giving more if you don't go back and forth, I was a teacher in in the college.

And the fact that the students just get up and go somewhere, it's kind of like, are

you living?

What are you doing?

I'm talking to you.

You didn't hear me.

What's happening right now?

So you, as a teacher, you're really confused.

I mean, are they leaving a class all together?

I think there is got to be some sort of communication in the teacher because you're talking

pretty much like all this time you're spending in front of you.

Karina, we're running out of time.
