  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 give students 3 bathroom passes per semester, and if they are worth 5 extra credit points each at the end of the semester. This really discourages students from leaving the classroom unless it's an emergency.

The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes
The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes
The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes
The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes
The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: This is a great idea because it allows the students to get more credit in the class, especially for students who are just missing that next letter grade, so this can help them bump it up. Also giving a limit to how many times they can go is great because the students will realize how important class is.
