  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!)
Students need to be allowed to go to the bathroom if needed. I have found magnetic passes online that I have used for my students. I have one for the boys and another for the girls. I like the magnetic ones because students can stick them to the door frames outside the bathroom. This also helps to prevent the spread of germs by not carrying them inside the bathroom. Having just one pass only allows for one student to be gone at a time. Students are also not permitted to leave during lectures. They may leave during group or independent activities, unless it's an absolute emergency.

Comments: I think limiting the number of students in the bathroom and limiting them to not leave during lecture is the best solution since it would prevent unnecessary trips to the restroom.

Comments: Nice solution! I think it is great that you have those passes for your class. Also allowing only one student go at a time is a good idea because then students won't talk outside together.

Comments: I like this solution because it only permits one girl and one boy to use the restroom at a time. I also like the idea of using magnetic passes because that is easy to just stick to the door frame of the bathroom so the students don't bring them into the stall with them.

Comments: Yes! This is a great idea my high school teacher used to have one guy and one girl pass and you had to sign the paper next to them when you used them so that he was able to look over and see how many times students were using the restroom breaks and if the passes were being abused.

Comments: This is a great way to implement the concept of responsibility as students take the pass back and forth to the restroom, and is a good way to keep a consistent system.
