BROOKLYN, NY (WACH)--Parents and students in Brooklyn are outraged after a teacher implements a strict bathroom break policy.

Under the teacher's policy students at P.S. 90 in Coney Island would only be alotted three bathroom vouchers a week and would recieve prizes for any left over.

The principal asked teachers to create a bathroom policy that could be implemented, students said the teacher posted the rules on a sign in the classroom.

After feedback from teachers and students, the principal has since asked the teacher to drop the policy.

Should students be limited to the amount of times they can get up and use the rest room? Should they be punished if they have to go more?
