Don’t you think this is just cruel?
Exam supervisors at a German University stuck by the rules when a student writing an exam stated that he had to urinate mid-exam due to bladder dysfunction he wasn’t allowed to exit the room and use the washroom. Nope. He was provided with a bottle to urinate in and had to do it in front of the other 120 students who were also writing the exam.
I hope no women had to pee!
The overseers of the exam told the 27 year old student of Freiburg University in South Western Germany that he’d be failed if he left the room during the exam. The man had a bladder control problem due to an accident that left him on crutches.
The supervisors wouldn’t even accompany the man to the washroom despite the request of other students.
A kind female student emptied her water bottle so that the man could use the bottle in the corner of the room to relieve himself.
University deputy head Karl Reinhard Volz apologized to the student when he heard what had happened to the student. He went on to say that the supervisors actions were unjustified and lacking in any normal human sensitivity.
Well, one needn’t look too far back in history to realize that the Germans like discipline…
This is disgusting. Where are people’s compassion? It’s sad when this is the state of humanity.
It’s not a person fault, if their bladder’s gonna burst. The proctors should have been considerate.
