If you are getting a note from the teacher, then clearly your son is disrupting the class with his issues. He needs to go to the bathroom before he lets loose. I agree with the teacher and frankly don't understand why you would want your son to make a spectacle of himself in the classroom.
Lol. I kind of understand where the teacher is coming from, because once one kid farts then the rest of the class will immitate and before you know it you've got a chorus of (fake) farts going. If your son initiated something like that twice in one day I can understand why the teacher got frustrated.
seriously, as along as he excuses himself she needs to get past it herself or if the smell is bothersomme then get the kids up to stretch and move around for a few minutes. my daughter is in kindergarden and this issue was adressed at the beginning of the year when several would do it at the same time and laugh about it. she sent notes home asking us to talk to them about excusing thmselves and she acommidates also by having them get up and move around without making giggles about it. what a prude to be making more out of it then there needs to be! it's normal and natural and with the school meals that are now fed to our children they are full of vegtables and healthy foods that cause it to happen more.

I can't believe some of the people on here can't understand that.
I've never understood the whole "pass gas only in the bathroom" concept. Even as an adult, I think it's sort of ridiculous. If I'm out and about and I feel a fart coming, I will do what I can to try to keep it more silent or maybe try to go to where there are less people around, but saying 'take it to the bathroom' just seems like overkill.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to talk to kids about their reaction to a fart. I know a kids natural reaction is to laugh. I think we need to teach kids to not laugh and to treat it like a burp instead, saying "excuse me" when it happens. But it's beyond ridiculous to ask a kid to hold it in and run to the bathroom every time they need to toot.
I think the teacher is off her rocker.
I think the teacher is being a bit ridiculous and if it's an issue of him being a disruption then that's what needs to be at the forefront of the note not him passing gas. Teacher's write notes for EVERYTHING!! There seems to be nothing that can be handled at school anymore these days.
Ask her if its disrupting the class , get the specifics. There has to be a reason why they are making a big deal out of it. I udnerstand they can't hold it. But there must be something else going on with it..
On the once in a blue moon occurrence, I step outside or in a different room. It's just common courtesy and manners, both of which, it seems this child is missing.
Quoting WillsMOM72:
Sometimes you cant hold it in and it just comes out. Can you always hold yours in?
