  Case: Bathroom
I teach at a high school and the new favorite place for couples to meet up is the bathroom. When a child ask to have a pass to the bathroom I often times wonder if that is what they are going to do. I am always conscious of how long they are gone, but it only takes seconds to make out with someone. We have had many students "caught" in the bathroom recently. I would love to hear any solutions for me individually and/or even our school to combat this problem. We do have cameras outside the bathroom, but those are only viewed if a problem arises or questions about students being in their together come up.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first be observant to see if a student continually wants to leave for the bathroom at the same time each day, I notice that typically means they are trying to meet up with someone....Usually at the restroom as well. As for the students who have been "caught" in the bathroom we had one instance at the beginning of the year and those two students were expelled....We haven't had a another issue since, possibly out of fear?

Comments: Passes are a good resource and noting a time chart when a student goes keeps them accountable.

Comments: I agree. You should be observant first. Don't punish the whole class who really just may need to go to the bathroom that one day just because one student asks to go almost everyday. If a student is asking on a regular basis you need to take to them aside and tell them to go before class because they aren't allowed to leave anymore, etc.
