So glad I found this forum to vent! We have over time had to enforce a strict potty training regime for all these reasons y'all have vented about. We discuss it with new parents before allowing them to enroll in that class. Of course, they seem to "forget" at certain times. Laughed at the post about sending the underwear home with poop. Because we used to throw them away but I had one dcm seriously ask me for the poopy underwear once even though I told her they were
un-save-able and I had to dig them out of the garbage for her. Seriously? Anyway if parents send them in underwear without our "permission" we put them in pullups right away and just continue to tell parents they can't until they are consistently dry and have gone poo here with no issues. Parents will push to do what they want or what is easiest for them and sometimes as administration/teachers you have to push back. If you have written policies in place it makes it easier.
