Teacher says ever time a bell rings a baby has to pee

Diapers are a touchy subject these days... what part of the eco system do you destroy? If you go with disposible diapers, they are not so disposible and you are creating a problem in our landfills and water supply. If you go with cloth diapers you are wasting water and electricity by drying them. There are some middle ground areas where you can use a flushable insert in a cloth diaper and you can get better disposible diapers that will be nicer to our landfills.
One alternative is of pavlovian nature. Yep, you too can train your kid to urnate at the drop of a sound.

My wife, and sometime me as well, attend a "mommy and me" class that the birth center hosts. They talk about subjects that concern parents and teach them how to be better at what they are already doing. Mothers also exchange tips and sometimes milk if some are producing extra. One mother at this place is very militant when it comes to babies. She is not afraid to let you know how you should raise your child. She has a method and it should work on every child. At just days old you figure out when you child is peeing and you make a noise whenever he/she does it. For example pisssssst. Eventually the child assoicates the sound with the act and then you can take your child to the bathroom, hold them over a receptical and make the noise and the child will do the act. Yep, you too can have your very own dog. This woman claims that at 11 weeks she was able to train her child to hold his urine and only pee when she made the noise. She says that we are the only country in the world that teaches our children to soil themselves and then spend months training them not to. By turning your child into a pavlovian dog you can save on diapers and save our planet.

I'm not sure I want my child to trained in such a way. What will happen if some one calls my child over to them and wants to keep on the down low? "Pssst, come here I have something to tell you." My child then proceeds to pee her pants and doesn't know why. I'm sure if other kids find this out they will do their best to make her pee as well... I think I'll stick to destroying the landfills.
