Would You Allow This Kid To Be In Underwear?

Oh my! They might not let him stay once they see he's not really potty trained! Yes, the parents are in for a wake up call...

They likely will not permit him to stay and may be reaching out to you again OP to re-enroll. Since he is leaving anyways insist on diapers for, at least, naptime. There is NO NEED for you to be cleaning up this much urine off floors/bedding/etc.

No. Accident free here for two consecutive weeks while awake and one full month during nap. They must be able to say the words "I have to go potty" BEFORE they have to go.

Child's spot is already filled the day after they leave.

Child also has other issues (constant biting, pushing, tackling) - all of which are extremely unpredictable. Lately child has been growling at me if I ever attempt to redirect/discipline. I just don't have the manpower to 1-on-1 this child all day every day anymore. I'm exhausted!

I don't initiate any potty training. That version seems to take forever.

Here is my policy
Before a child can begin, they need to be ready. If they can't stay dry two hours from nap, they aren't ready. If Huey are over drinking his may contribute to this.

(1) the child has to be able to say they need to potty before they actually wet themselves.

(2) I don't remind or insist they go during certain times of the day unless we are about to leave the house going on a field trip

(3) they have to wear diapers (no pull-ups) until they can remain dry for two weeks and this includes them initiating their ownnpottymgoing.

Unless the above occurs, no underwear is allowed to be worn at my house.

I don't care about report of potty success at home.

I totally agree!
Your shouldn't have to remind him every 1.5 hours. That is not potty trained.

Nope. To me, "potty trained" means that after the initial learning stage, the child is able to use the potty all by herself. That means she can recognize she has to go, hold it until she gets there, pull down her pants, get on the potty, wipe herself, get down, pull her pants up, and wash her hands.
