Lunchbox Toilet

An Orange County teacher is facing the consequences after accusations that she gave a student an unusual bathroom break.

The boy claimed she made him use a lunchbox as a toilet.

The sixth-grader at Meadowbrook Middle School said he had to urinate in the lunchbox because his teacher wouldn’t let him go to the bathroom.

The student said he asked the teacher if he could leave the classroom to use the facility, and she said no.

The boy said she gave him two alternatives.

“She said, ‘You have two choices: You can pee in this,’ which was the lunchbox, ‘or you can pee in your pants,’ so he decided to go to the back of the portable and peed in the lunchbox,’ a student said.

The incident allegedly happened on Thursday, and the teacher has been attending a conference in New Orleans since then.

Officials with Orange County Public Schools said the teacher was suspended with pay while an investigation is conducted, but she has not been charged with anything.
