Cuts in schools mean I don’t have 5 minutes to spare for a toilet break

One day, I came into class with my children to discover the floor had caved in. 

There were gaping holes up to a metre down all over the classroom.

We later learned that the water pipes in our 100-year-old school building had corroded and cracked. The resulting flood of water caused the floor to collapse.

So the class had to be evacuated into another room, in a school already squeezed for space.
