It’s just another “thing” parents fail to do. Be patient and place those particular children on a potty schedule. Before school starts, snack, after lunch, recess before home. Pass the schedule on to the child’s parent(s). As a sped teacher … classroom aides change students diapers. But your students need a schedule and perhaps a reward system to go with it.

I don't think its unreasonable at all. So far I've made sure all my kids are potty trained in preschool. Sounds like some epic parenting fails.
OMG! I can see having an accident in early kindergarten but first grade!
Just got back from a family reunion. We were talking about this. My cousin is an aide for a development kindergarten class w special-ed kids in Las Vegas. Fine! It’s the regular kindergarten class- gen ed teachers who seem to ask for help with toileting for those kids who aren’t potty trained. My cousin told us that the parents will say they don’t have time to do it at home so the school can do it 👀🫣
Oh heck no . In NY you have to be potty trained by kindergarten
That is not unreasonable
Many parents don’t parent anymore. It’s that simple.

It's the sad truth. Just curious how they're filling their time if they're not busy teaching their kids basic skills
Gosh! potty training is suppose to be done with by 1st grade. There shouldn't be an assumption that you're going to do it. However, some children can be delayed regarding potty training. It also depends on what happened at home, parent mindset around potty training, etc.
