Young Britons -1955. It would be the mid-sixties before the 'practice' stopped...

I'm glad it was the parents' job in the US before the mid-60s rolled around. My mother had me trained by the time I just turned two. Thanks, Mom!

I don't think it should be taught in school, but the idea of using a small pot is a smart idea. I was terrified of falling when I was being toilet training (memory is a weird thing, something that happened 34 years ago, I remember).

As the old Polish joke (that is, a joke told by Poles) noted:

Why do Poles use two-ply toilet paper? Because one copy of all paper work must be sent to Moscow...
