Not sure where you're from, but here in western America most 5th grade activities aren't split between classrooms. They have one or two primary teachers and one primary workspace for the whole day.
That class based split appears in middle school, which is Grade 7 onwards.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI've seen 5th grades in the US where the kids are walked between classrooms for different classes, specifically in order to "prepare them for middle school." In other cases, I've still observed some sort of break. You can certainly construct a scenario where this bathroom policy makes zero sense, but you can also construct one where it's a bit more logical. I feel like we're missing a lot of context here, and absent information to the contrary, I'd rather assume the best than jump to outrage.
- KirinDave 7y agoWhy should we? Schools are universally reviled in the US because of what they have become. Mindless drudgery and ineffective teaching techniques mixed with a sullen workforce prepping the next generation of sullen workforce. Wealthy individuals counteract this with extensive (and expensive!) private tutoring.
