Middle school teacher tells student to use lunchbox as toilet

http://www.wftv.com/news/15620442/detail.html
In Orange County, FL, a 13 year old student told his teacher he needed to use the bathroom. She reportedly told him he could either wait for the end of the period, or go to the back of the room and use his lunchbox. The student says he couldn't wait for the end of the class, and used the lunchbox as the teacher had instructed.

The school is coducting their own investigation, and the teacher is out of the classroom in the meatime, but I find it highly disturbing that this happened in the first place. The NEA would have us believe that teachers are highly educated and trained professionals, whose work gives children a education far superior to that a parent can give. What kind of "professional" educator suggests that a teenage boy urinate in his lunchbox in a room full of other teenage students? I don't need a college degree or any experience in a classroom to know that toilets are designed to collect bodily wastes, ad luchboxes are designed to carry food. Any sane adult should be able to figure out that it's not appropriate for a student to pull down his pants in the classroom for any reason, and that a student who asks to use the bathroom should be allowed to go do so.
