  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!)
Hmmm...a tough one. This is increasingly becoming a problem for many high schools I believe. The main advice and solution that I can see is to not allow any children the opportunity to go to the bathroom during class time unless they have written excuses for "bladder issues" or etc. This sounds harsh and I am not sure if it is even doable (per students' rights) but certainly a way to stop the temptation. Students at this age should be allowed to go to the restroom in between classes and it should be mandated.
