The Anne Arundel County Public Schools are taking a proactive approach to a growing issue: the increasing number of kindergartners who enter school without proper potty training. This problem is not isolated to Anne Arundel; it's a trend that's prompting schools across the country to reconsider their curriculum and teaching responsibilities. The new regulation, adopted unanimously by the school board, makes it a staff responsibility to help children work towards toileting independence. This shift in policy is a response to the realization that parents' lack of involvement in potty training at home is impacting the school environment and the well-being of students.
