Too many kids in school are still wearing diapers, Swiss teachers complain - How has modern society trained parents to be so braindead and useless?

Too many kids in school are still wearing diapers, Swiss teachers complain


  • The head of the Swiss Federation of Teachers gave an interview.
  • In it, he said that kids are coming to school wearing diapers.
  • This is because they are starting school so young and parents aren't properly teaching their kids.
This is a translation of a story originally that appeared in BILD on Jun 13, 2023.

Swiss educators are sounding the alarm: there are more and more children in schools who are still wearing diapers.

"Kids are going to school as early as four years old now, so yeah, you might actually find some still in diapers," Dagmar Rösler, head honcho of the Swiss Federation of Teachers, told "20 Minuten".


But it's not just about the age they start school – an increasing number of older students also depend on diapers, and it's not for health-related reasons.

Child development expert Rita Messmer once even had an eleven-year-old patient who wasn't taught how to use the toilet on their own. The number of kids wearing diapers in school has "skyrocketed," she told the "Sonntagszeitung." She's swamped with inquiries.

Educational scientist Margrit Stamm is familiar with the problem, too. Diapers have come a long way over the decades. Nowadays, they can be worn "like normal underwear," she told the "Sonntagszeitung." "So kids get conditioned to diapers."

She went on, "Some parents let it slide, because diapers are a convenient relief. It's not seen as a problem these days." Apparently, there are parents who put their kids in diapers for outings, or because they want to sleep in a little longer in the morning. "That sends a totally wrong message," says Stamm.

Teachers shouldn't be changing diapers​

The ones suffering are the teachers. Federation head Dagmar Rösler told "20 Minuten:" "Parents have a responsibility to make sure their school-aged kids aren't wearing diapers anymore. When eleven-year-olds come to school in diapers, that's a worrying trend. Teachers aren't there to change their students' diapers. That's crossing a line."

The diaper issue has some bizarre side effects: The "Sonntagszeitung" dug up an ad where a working couple is looking for "a lady" who could be "on call to change our five-year-old son."

What the fuck did you expect? I'm not savvy to the timeline of these things, but I'd bet that there's a bell curve to it.

Ok, that's on the parents. I'm going to assume it's a one-off kept in for sensationalism though.
 
What the fuck did you expect? I'm not savvy to the timeline of these things, but I'd bet that there's a bell curve to it.

So when I first read it, that was my take away, but between the extreme one off, and the following:

"But it's not just about the age they start school – an increasing number of older students also depend on diapers, and it's not for health-related reasons."

So it seems like a bigger issue than just that. Looking into it as well kids are said to generally start toilet training at 18 months to 3 years at the latest which puts 4 to be abnormal, and they're saying there's an increasing amount older than 4 even.
 
Diapers at four is still unusual, or used to be. Maybe something for overnight, but during the day they should be using the toilet by then, unless they are disabled in some way. Are there really parents not toilet training their children? Changing diapers is one of the things that is most unpleasant about babies; why would someone want to do it longer than absolutely necessary?
 
I refuse to believe this does not regard niggers who get them for free.

Any normal parent would be very ashamed to see their kid be so much behind development. That's not even considering the cost of the thing, and the inconvenience of having to fucking clean and change them.

No fucking way this is an actual issue among Swiss people.

I'm not shocked to see the socialization issues pop up 4 years after Wuflu. It can still mess up babies.
 
This is obvious cases of child neglect and bad parenting, but the silver lining is that those elementary school "teachers" are the ones CLEANING IT UP.
And they deserve it, because they're bad people, bad teachers, and I don't like them.
I'm going to reincarnate, shit myself daily at school on purpose, and the teacher will have to clean it all up.
 
I'm going to assume this is about lazy third worlders ruining yet another civilized nation since that's what it ends up being every time. Further confirmation is the original article image depicting white children.
Idk third world countries have a different diaper culture. Since disposable diapers are expensive and not necessarily available, 'traditional' methods of potty training are used. The most primitive form of this is that the kids just don't wear pants. They become housebroken very fast.
