So in the past few days there hasn't been any toilet paper in the teacher's bathroom at my school and today I mentioned it to my co-teacher. She told me the principal thinks the teachers use too much so now we will have to bring our own.. I'm sorry but that is f'ed up. All the teachers at my school hate the principal and are always complaining about her. I haven't had any negative experiences with her, but I don't speak Korean and I don't really ever see her. I'm not happy about this though. Maybe if my school didn't have a one community roll where you have to estimate how much you need before you go in the stall, then people wouldn't use as much? Regardless I think its pretty crazy to stop providing toilet paper.

It's always been this way at my school. Whenever a kid asks for toilet paper all of the other kids laugh at him.

Haha, well times are tight. I guess you need to save money in whatever way possible. Perhaps upper-decking his toilet is an appropriate retaliation? Smile

Your school can afford a teacher's bathroom?

My first school in Korea (X > 2 years) had the teacher's bathroom right in the teacher's office. Embarassed

Is there not a rear wash wipe toilet pan in the teachers toilet?
We too have a big roll outside the cubicle, but don't you always gestimate too much.
By Wednesday it's finished and we have to use service gifts from filling stations etc.

Always tuck a packet of tissue in the pocket before heading to the loo.

When I saw the thread title, I mistakenly thought the OP was saying that he had to take his Bachelors degree to school.

That's an interesting take on the subject. High School equivalency?
Just kidding. Ha ha. Wink

Man, if that's the worst thing that happens at your school, consider yourself lucky.

im feeling just a little lucky now - we have soap, sanitiser (in each classroom on the wall), hot water and toilet paper in our toilets, and YES its a public school - although I did get told off for switching on the water heater in November as it wasn't apparently cold enough for hot water until December Smile

I think its a legacy of our place being VERY badly hit by H1N1 last year...like closed for 2 weeks...

You might consider doing your poohs at home then, either before school or hold it in until afterwards.

I never crap at school, always prefer playing on home turf.
