Stock the soap

Hi, Ed, I think something should be done about Hamilton High West, which has no soap in its rest rooms. My grandchild carries hand sanitizer, but with the coming flu season and superbug, I think the soap dispensers should be full. The toilet paper, paper towel and vending machines are usually empty. If the problem is monitoring the bathroom, then at least supply hand sanitizer in the classroom under the teacher’s supervision.

So there’s a school full of kids who can’t wash their hands or wipe their butts? Yikes. It’s a sorry situation if they won’t trust students with the basic essentials of personal hygiene. Maybe they could deem some kids “bathroom monitors,” like the old hall monitors. They’d never get picked on, right? It’s either that or diapers. —Ed. Note

That is disgusting and not very hygienic. I would call the department of health and/or school superintendent.

Call the newspaper and tell them to bring a film crew. Show it on the six o'clock news. Then sit back and watch who points their dirty finger at who. Expose them all. Don't tell me in all their late night meeting about money they can't find any to spend on soap and toilet tissue. Borrow some from their homes, bet they have plenty.

You think this is bad, look into Trenton Schools. While the board members are traveling around the world on the kids dime, they don't have hygenic needs in their bathrooms either. So, the next time Palmer gives his "proud of the work the system is doing" speech. Check his hands.

Clean it.... I worked as a light cleaner with the Trenton School System for years. I worked many schools. I can tell you straight up, none of the student lavatories have soap or toilet paper. It's been that way for many years. The principals have asked for it but something else was always more important. Our union complained about it to board members because it made our jobs harder, and we took a chance of getting a disease. But nothing changed. Why should board members get to travel around the world and students don't get soap and toilet paper? I think if they can spend some of those late night board meeting hours, finding money to take trips, they could find money for a role of toilet paper for the kids. If Palmer really wants to be an education mayor, maybe he should start by teaching the board members how, when and why they should have basic lavatory necessities. Maybe then they would see that it's necessary for everyone else.
