  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 have used short teacher detentions in the past, in hopes of limiting the students from going to the bathroom during class. My philosophy is that if the students are going to take away from my instructional time, I will take away from their personal time.

Comments: I'm not a fan of this solution. I was one of those students who had to pee at a certain time of the day. I tried to go before class or afterward but couldn't go or couldn't hold it. I also had to pee when I was nervous which was a lot during my public speaking class, I wasn't trying to get out of it, I just had to go pee! Try talking to the students who pee a lot during your class and see why it's happening. It could be harmless like me.

Comments: I do not think a student should be punished for having to use the bathroom. I would just make sure I know which are asking to go on a regular basis.
