  Case: Bathroom passes?
How do high school teachers handle bathroom issues? When I issue my students passes, they lose them or use them all and still ask to go to the bathroom. I can't tell them they can't go to the bathroom when they are sitting there telling me they really have to go, but I know some of them aren't really going to the bathroom or just want to leave for a minute. I've tried every system and can't find one that works. Any ideas?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since we are talking about high school students here, I put forth the idea to make them responisble for thier action like the real world. You are correct to say that you cant just tell them no but the idea is to go in between class or before and after lunches. My idea is this, have two laminated or plastic passes. This means at most two studnts can be out at a time and it dosentl hurt the genders. If they lose the pass it hurts their grade and any learning they miss while inthe bathroom is thier responsibility. Let's say they ask to go during a test either make them wait to finish the test or make sure they understand that if you collect it while they're gone that its the test they turn in. For notes or classwork its thier responiblity to find it afterward or be back in time to turn it in. If it still feels liek a problem make it so that only in the first and last ten minutes of class are the times to ask to go.

Comments: It is a good idea to make learning the content that was covered while they were in the bathroom their own responsibility. Good solution.
