A 2nd Grade Teacher In Georgia Has Created A 'Fart Corner' For Her Students To Pass Gas In Peace
Candy Sydney-Browning’s setup lets students step away quietly, and she says it has cut bathroom requests and kept lessons moving.
- Atlanta teacher Candy Sydney-Browning went viral on TikTok after creating a classroom "gas station," a designated corner where students can quietly step away to pass gas without interrupting lessons.
- Sydney-Browning developed the "Gusty Winds Area" after looping from first to second grade with her students; she told TODAY, "I have a very weak stomach, so I cannot take it."
- Stocked with Febreze, the corner allows students to manage needs without asking permission, and Sydney-Browning said the arrangement has become routine for her students with no disruption or embarrassment.
- Reactions are mixed; according to NBC, some viewers praise normalizing bodily functions while others worry about teasing, though Sydney-Browning told NBC that students' parents have been supportive.
- Teachers are adopting similar "fart closet" setups for their classrooms, a trend that contrasts sharply with an unrelated incident where a Colombian movie theater recently evacuated over uncontrolled gas.
