Can you imagine going to a school without restrooms? Probably not, because despite of how silly this may sound, restrooms or toilets (WC) are important parts of a building. And just like their titles, "restrooms'', they are supposed to provide you a place where you can relax so you could ''answer 'nature's call''. However, not all restrooms in public schools can do that, especially in Vietnam. Here are four reasons that make me think so.

First of all is the lack of brightness. Some people have told me that their schools’ restrooms don’t have enough lights, while others have complained that theirs don't even have lights at all! No one would like to do ''their bussiness'' in total darkness because it makes the surroundings feel less safe, and without the feeling of safety, you would have to look out for whatever bad things could happen to you, which doesn't sound relaxing at all.

Secondly is not having enough rooms for many students at once. I have seen and heard that many schools have very little room and space in their bathrooms. This leads to many students having to wait to use the toilet. This wouldn't be a problem if there aren't too little room, and it would make the situation even harder for the ones who are in an emergency to use the restroom.

Thirdly, they don't often have much personal space. Alright, think, would you feel relaxed and do ''number one'' knowing that there are many other people around you trying to do the same and that there is nothing to cover you from being watched by them? That is exactly what happens in many public schools in Vietnam, especially in elementary schools and junior highschools. The reason might be because the school doesn't have enough money. After all, Vietnam isn't a rich country, but if they have spent their money to build the whole school, then why didn't they spare some to make the restrooms better? Surely making booths to seperate the toilets wouldn't cost too much, would they?

The last reason goes for being smelly and dirty. In Vietnam, squat toilets, which use water buckets to flush away waste, are very common in public schools. Normally, after students use the squat toilets, they would have to flush way their waste. But many of them are either embarrased or lazy to do it and often refused to, leaving the toilets dirty and making them smell bad. This makes other students feel uncomfortable and unwilling to use the restroom.

To conclude, restrooms in most public schools in Vietnam aren't good enough to be used as they are usually too dark with too little rooms and also lack personal spaces. Plus, they don't often smell good and are usually left unclean. To me, toilets are one of the reasons why I don’t adore public schools as much as I do for private schools.
