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, too, teach high school and asking to go to the bathroom is a common request. I give my students a two minute time limit to get down there, take care of business, then come back quickly to whatever we are engaged in at appropriate times. I do not let my students leave at just any time.
A few of my coworkers do it differently. One gives a half-sheet of bathroom passes (4 per semester) and once they are used up they are not allowed to leave the room unless they are sick. Another teacher allows her students to go, but requires that they trade her for a 15 minute detention the following day. Students who fail to serve her detention are then given notification by administration they have one more opportunity to serve and failure to serve teacher detention will result in administrative detention.
I think we just have to find what works best for our personalities and do our best to identify the students who want to leave to leave. I think I will try the 15 minute detention next year. It's amazing how unimportant going to the bathroom in the middle of class can be when they realize they have to give up some of their social time to serve detention. |

| Comments: I like this solution because they mention more than one solution to this case. I'm not a big fan with the 15-minute detention but they provided others I could choose from. I approve of the 4 per semester pass, though. I would first talk with the student who is going pee a lot during class because I always had to go at a certain time of the day. I couldn't help it, I didn't want to miss class but I had to go! There may be a reason to his/her going to the bathroom a lot. |

| Comments: I disagree because all of these solutions assume most students are using their bathroom priveledges for the wrong reasons when most are not. I think all of these solutions punish kids for a natural bodily function. |

| Comments: I am not sure how I feel about this. I don't think it is right to actually time students. I see you being aware of how long they are out but timing can be stressful and what if the student needs to go #2 and is embarrassed to say something. I would watch to see which students ask more commonly. So I like the 4 bathroom passes per semester. Because the 15 minutes of detention is also very extreme to me. |
