“This is what I know as a male junior high school teacher…”
“If a student has period blood stains that they don’t notice, I text the teacher’s group chat (the rest are all women) and ask them to talk to the girl. To make it more discreet, I Give the woman a small note telling her that she needs to go see a specific teacher (the one who said she was available in the group chat) Tell the student why they need to go see that teacher. Please do not. The teacher at the reception will take care of it.
If a student has period blood stains or other stains that embarrass the student, send a text message to the teacher’s group chat and have one of the female teachers take the student to the storage area and place the student there. Spare uniforms are kept there. They help students change into their uniforms and place dirty uniforms in bags for students to take home. (During the day, this will also be done for boys who need a new uniform. In that case, a male teacher will help.)
If a student is suffering from menstrual cramps, they go to a female teacher’s classroom with large, comfortable chairs. We call this the “headache chair,” but the correct name is the “menstrual pain chair.” Students can stay there for one class period. Then, if you don’t feel well and can’t go to class, go to the office and go home.
If it is your first period, a female teacher will assist you, but parents will also be contacted immediately. That seems like something parents want to know right away. ”
