  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!)
Maybe you could send a responsible friend with the students who are misbehaving. This way they know they are being held accountable for their behavior. If the responsible friend gives a good report then that student earns something that goes along with your classroom reward system.

Comments: While I think this is a good idea in a sense, I think having a pair of friends go to the bathroom could also lead to its own hijinks, and most friends aren't willing to 'tattle' on their friend if there was misbehaving.

Comments: I have a feeling that would include sending the same students to the bathroom repeatedly through the day, which cuts down on their learning time.

Comments: This may cause tension between friends as one of them would be essentially be seen as a tattle tail

Comments: This responsible friend may not be willing to tattle on the other student. This also doesn't give you an honest solution to the problem, but instead, varying results.
