Case: Bathroom Chaos
In our school, we have one hallway for pre-k, k, and first grade. With all of the classrooms (15) we only have one bathroom for our boys and girls. Each bathroom has four stalls, but it is so chaotic when we take bathroom breaks. I am starting to have issues with my kids misbehaving because of all the overcrowding and craziness in the bathrooms. I teach kindergarten and can't always go with every student to the restroom because I am in the classroom with the rest of my students. I need some advice on how to monitor behavior and keep my students from making poor choices when going to the restroom independently.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
At my school, we use bathroom monitors. It works really well, even for K! The bathroom monitor goes to the front of the line, goes in to the bathroom counts the open stalls and allows that number of students to enter. When a stall opens up, they send another student in. They are also in charge of reporting misbehavior as well as letting the teacher know when all students have finished. Just make sure you are very selective about your student choice! |

Comments: Not only is this effective for the behavior problem, it gives the responsibility of the task a fun element and makes kids want to behave so they can have such an important role as well. |

Comments: I actually don't like this idea, because it can really backfire. I prefer to limit authority given to students over other students. It can cause resentment (why have I never been chosen? the monitor reporting inaccurately/with a bias, etc.) or cause a normally nice kid to find their bossy side. Leadership roles are great, but authoritative positions that are only given to "responsible" students just seems like a bad idea. |
