  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!)
A possible solution would be to take the kids to restroom as a class but have them line up outside each entrance. For example, the boys on the boys side and the girls on the girls side. Only allow a couple of students in at one time and once someone comes out the next student in line can go in. This will regulate the amount of children in the bathroom at one time and if the break is being monitored they will be less apt to act up in the restroom.
