Starting school in diapers

Hannah M , How many students do you have in your class ? Is this a special needs school ? Is diapering time worked into your lesson plan ?

I have never heard of being potty trained NOT being a requirement for kindergarten.

Having a minimum of a bachelors degree in early childhood education and having to change diapers ?

I asked 8 of my teacher friends, all who teach grades 4 and under ( only two has a bachelors degree , the other six have masters) and teach in MA & RI if they ever heard of such a thing and they all said absolutely not. Some said it more colorfull terms -lol .

I am one of those teachers. I teach kindergarten and I have some students who are in diapers and I change them.

when I was doing my on the job traing for my early childhood education certification. I did some on the job training at the local head start center some of the kids weren't potty trained and the teacher had to change them when needed.

Yes DrJ , head start is for early childhood development, usually for children from birth to 5 yrs of age so naturally it would involve changing and feeding ( bottles ) . It is also a childcare program that among other things readies the child for actual school .

I've only ever heard about kids still in diapers going to school as this isn't exactly heard of where I live. Other places maybe, I don't know because I don't travel much or read about that sort of situation. I didn't even know that was a possible outcome from a multitude of reasons until I heard about other people's experiences. So to answer this question, no. But my mother did hold me back a year which I wish never happened. I would have loved to have gone to school with the people that were a year ahead of me and got school over and done sooner.

That sort of thing could only happen at a very young age where the kids are drawing or coloring or something like that--NOT where real teaching of math, history, science, English or social studies was being done where the teacher needs to be in front and in control of the classroom..

Diaper changing by teachers does not happen in mainstream schools.

I have 20 students in my class Bridgette. No it isn't a special needs school. It is somewhat worked into my lesson plan.

You can believe whatever you want to Susie.

During my first few years of public school (NJ). I can remember, anytime there was an accident, or issue for a child, you were sent to the nurses office. If you had wet pants, you walked yourself out, and down to the office. And in most cases, parents were called. If they couldn't come, the nurse would give you something to wear, if possible. Or, you had to wrap a coat or jacket around you. It was pretty much a parents responsibly, to handle, or deal with it. I'm not saying, this was how it was always handled, everywhere. I'm sure, it could have been dealt with differently elsewhere. That's just what I remember at my school, and that was way back when too, 47-48 years. I wouldn't disbelieve, children who are changed, or that have been changed by staff, or whomever at school. But, I hope it was always with the knowledge and consent of a parent.

Diaper changing by teachers does not happen in mainstream schools.

yes it dose, in special Ed classroom which I happend to do a full week on the job training as well. Not talking ahout a mainstream classroom but a special Ed one just like @Bridgette said you're free to believe what you want.

Call it what you want but special ed is NOT mainstream and Head Start is NOT regular schooling.

What Luvs It describes is an accident, not an every day occurrence for a child where they need regular diaper changing. His description rings true. The parent is called and the child is sent home, gets clean clothes or gets changed by a parent.

Dr J , you quoted Susie ( diaper changing by teachers does not happen in mainstream schools) then you went on to say , yes it does and then you said in special ed not mainstream classroom.

Does that make sense ?

That is exactly Susie & my points . IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN mainstream school setting - mainstream DOES NOT include special ed nor a daycare setting such as head start .

The big difference between many of we fetishists is that people like myself who do horrible, debauched licentious things to other people, like enemas, whipping and flogging and bondage among other "disgusting corporal activities" 😁 is that we do it at home in private and other people would never know we do it from our appearance, but there is a sub-group of diaper lovers who are intent on walking around town in just a diaper, making sure other people can see they are wearing a diaper, filling their diapers to overflowing, enjoying and having them smell (yes they do and we can smell it but they don't because they become used to it) and wanting the people around them to know they are wearing diapers.

A person who wears diapers out of need changes them when they get soiled, many ABDLs wear them soiled so they can sit in it which is fine if that's what you're into, but please do it at home. This is not what a person does who wears them out of necessity. There are posts in this thread by some ABDLs that are clearly trying to make it seem like it is a natural thing for children to wear diapers in school, except IT ISN'T.

My wife was the Business Administrator at a nursery school. They had students as young as three years old. One of the criteria for enrollment was the student had to be toilet trained. The staff was not going to be changing diapers.

SwitchableSusie, I got a " whiff" of what you are saying earlier on in this thread and by doing a bit of reading of other posters and their profiles agree with your sentiments . I commend you on your balls and while I have been accused of having a large pair myself I aspire to one day have a set as big as yours . Ha ha ! ? Well said ,as always ?

KUDOS to Susie!!! I have three friends who are special ed teachers, and none has ever changed a student's diaper. Furthermore, they all said if asked they would refuse, and call their union rep. One sized it up very succinctly: "I'm a teacher, NOT a nursemaid!"

Regarding my "balls," I like to quote Stewie from the show Family Guy when he was talking about Lois, his mother, when she was standing up for her beliefs. Stewie said, "Look who's wearing her ovaries on the outside!"

HA HA ! Love it !

You're hilarious Susie?

I'm not quite sure whether this is on topic or not but I've written before about wetting my bed at boarding school in the 50's and the miserable time I had between 8 and 13. However then I went, with considerable trepidation, to my next school. I expected even worse treatment there, having been led by schoolboy rumour to believe in the prevalence of the cane and bullying at public schools (i.e. senior private ones for our US readers).

In fact the housemaster's wife who looked after that side of things could not have been nicer. She had young children and suggested that it would be easier to keep my wetting secret from the other boys if, as she put it, "you went back to nappies". I agreed with an alacrity that might have raised some suspicions but did not appear to do so. She never actually put me in nappies but she did show me how to fold and pin them when she changed one of her own children. (Needless to say I often fantasised about her changing me too.)

She did buy me plastic pants (Kintal Extra Large ones for those who remember them - they had a waist of up to 32 inches and I was quite slight in build). She also washed my nappies with her children's when I was wet. Her kindness, and perhaps my age, meant that I did in fact start to have fewer accidental wet beds.

My wife has sometimes said that this experience probably reinforced my wish to be babied but I do not agree with that. I think without her, and exposed to teasing or even cruelty such as I had had from 8 to 13, I would have had a breakdown. There is no way she is to blame for starting me on a life of nappies as I had always, ever since I remember, wanted to wear them. That is one reason I accepted her offer so quickly and enthusiastically.

I think without that desire coupled with an immense desire to keep by bedwetting secret from the other boys, many 13 year olds would have been horrified by the idea of going back to nappies. However I can remember at about 4 being caught with one of my father's handkerchiefs stuffed in my trousers as a pretend nappy and, aged about 7, taking one of my younger brother's nappies and wearing and wetting it - then leaving it under my bed, to my mother's annoyance. Funnily she never thought that nappies were a good idea for me even though I was still bedwetting and I kept very quiet about what happened at school when I went back to them.

A quick addition, based on my actual remembered experiences of being nappied.

As I mentioned, I was diapered up until late second grade (I thought it was mid-second grade but I know I was 8, which wasn't until late second grade).

Obviously, there are a ton of photos of me from kindergarten. In the photos taken from late '96 to late '97 (2 to 3 years old) I'm rocking the t-shirt and diaper look a lot because, you know, that's what 2-year-olds do. In the photos taken from late '97 to mid '98 (3yo), I've got the 'proper little man' look going on - polo shirts, shorts, riptape sneakers and all.

Around June '98 (which is, I'm informed, shortly after my family stopped trying to push toilet training me, and decided it would happen when it happened) I apparently sharply regressed - or the way my teachers treated me regressed, at any rate. It's very noticeable because in my '97 class photo (around Christmas), I'm dressed nicely, but in my '98 class photo (almost exactly a year later) I'm wearing one-piece pyjamas with a print. Nothing beats my '99 class photo, though - I am perched at the end of the back row, IN A T-SHIRT AND DIAPER, two months after turning 5. I know that they basically called us up in what we were wearing, but that's a real mind trip.

From June '98 to Dec. '99 in general, though, I seem to have given up on pants. I checked and there are like a single-digit / low double-digit number of photos in which I'm wearing pants, mostly my Sunday best or other really nice occasions. In all the other photos, I'm wearing a t-shirt or robe, sometimes shoes and socks - but never pants. A vast variety of diapers (normal diapers, overnights, swim diapers - never Pull-Ups or Goodnites), though.

I think the most eye-catching photo from this time (apart from my '99 class photo) is one specific photo in which I'm with a group of kids my own age (~4-5yo) who are dressed normally, and I'm wearing a diaper and socks, and using a pacifier. I often stick out of groups these days (I'm tall and dark and have a face that could be diplomatically described as rugged) but never so much as in that photo.

I wore "StayDry" underpants when I started school and until third grade. They had a thick liner inside and a plastic covering outside but occasionally leaked. The nurse kept a change of clothes for me that my mom sent to school. At night I wore a diaper and plastic pants. I went home for lunch since we lived close to the school. My mom would check me to see if I was wet and changed me if I needed it.

There were just a couple of times in preschool that I was diapered. I didn't like going to bathroom away from home, and so I had a tendency to avoid going to the bathroom until I eventually wet myself. This happened a couple of times in preschool, and the preschool put me in a diaper for the remainder of the day to avoid any additional accidents. When my parents would pick me up, the teachers would give my parents the wet clothes in a plastic bag, and I'd keep wearing the diaper for the rest of the day until changing for bed. It wasn't common, but maybe a dozen or two dozen times over two years of preschool.

I was taken out of school for a period for wetting my pants and kept in nappies for a week though i wasnt allowed to wet them or id get spanked .. i think they though humiliating me would make me stop

I wore pinned on diapers and rubber pants to kindergarten, which was only half day. We lived close to school and mommy walked me school in the mornings and walked me home at noon to have lunch and change my wet diapers. I still had to wear my diapers and rubber pants to the first grade and that was all day. Mommy took me home for lunch and changed my wet diapers and then walked me back to school. I remember playing with my classmates during recess in my diapers and rubber pants, which were pretty big and obvious to my friends. Some teased me about not being potty trained like they were and wearing diapers. I don't remember any teacher changing my diapers. Mommy would take me home after school and changed me and I do remember crying one time about the girl who teased me. In finally learned to potty train during the day but still wet my bed and mommy diapered me at night. That lasted for a long time.

I also attended Kindergarten, and wore diapers too. It was half day, and most of the time, i was wet and sometimes poopy, when i got picked up from Kindergarten. I know, and still have strong memories of wearing diapers at preschool, and getting changed at pre-school. I also was put in diapers until i was 8 years old at night.

I often wore myself during school from PreK to 3rd grade before I was homeschooled after those grades though I had a medical need to wear anyhow. I don’t recall ever being changed in school well at least into another diaper, however If my diaper ever leaked which from what I remember was very rare they would send me to the nurses office for a change of clothes normally I would wait in diaper by the bathroom with my others clothes off until I gotten the clothes and almost every time I was told to take the diaper off in the restroom and change into the new clothes with no help. And never was given a new diaper to wear. So almost 50% of the time I would just keep the diaper on and just stuff my pants with paper towels. And the other 50% I would go commando. Was mostly the reason I was pulled from school do to the amount of accidents I had.

The boy who sat next to me in Kindergarten wore plastic pants over his white Jockey Y-fronts every day. It was easy to see the clear plastic poking out above the top of his school shorts. When we had to sit cross-legged on the floor you could also see the plastic pants up the leg of his (short) shorts.

One of the older boys from Grade 2 or 3 opened my neighbour's school bag as it hung on a hook outside the classroom. Inside was a pair of plastic pants, presumably a spare pair), which caused much laughter from the assembled crowd.

I didn't laugh or tease him, I just desperately wanted to be like him and have to wear plastic pants to school.

I maintained a spare set of clothes with the school nurse all through grade school. If I leaked through my training pants, I went to the nurse and changed clothes. My daughters were required to keep a change of clothes at school when they were in pre-K and kindergarten. They only used them a couple of times.

I was defiantly the diaper kid at my preschool. I was still in pampers full time. They would take me to the bathroom to try once in a while. My diaper would be removed and I would sit on the pot for a bit. Most times though, I would be taken over to the daycare side and have my diaper changed.

I don’t really remember any of the other kids caring all that much at that point. I’m sure they knew though. When they lined up for the bathroom, I would be escorted over to the daycare side. Once there they would check my diaper and see if it needed changed. If it did they would help me climb up on a changing table , change my pampers, then back to class.

As far as I know, I was the only one in diapers still. I guess no one really gave me a hard time because I didn’t really act babyish otherwise. I was outgoing and loved to play and make fiends. Pretty much like any other preschooler, except still in pampers like a big toddler. Like I’ve said before I’m sure everyone knew I was wearing diapers. Those 80’s disposables were super puffy and loud. Just no one cared that I knew of.

I almost wore diapers to kindergarten, but I got trained just in time. Not even sure if that would have been allowed. I can remember my Mom telling me I wouldn’t be able to start school if I didn’t stop pooping my pants. She was changing my dirty diaper at the time. Soon after I potty trained with the help of some bribery(toys) and a little more embarrassment.

I never wore diapers to school but I did pee my pants in kindergarten just after getting off my bus. I made it to my front yard then just stopped and stood there and couldn't hold it any longer. As I flooded my pants and pee ran into my shoes I was scared I was going to get spanked but also enjoyed the feeling. It turned out my mom just made me strip at the front door then take a bath.
