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!) I can see how this is disruptive and can be frustrating. Students should receive a certain number of bathroom passes. Once they are given those passes it is their responsibility to hold on to them. If they use them up or lose them, that is their fault. Students will use their passes more wisely if they know that once they are all gone they don't get anymore.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think that this is a useful solution to the bathroom pass situation. Allotting students a certain amount of passes per term or however long you decide is great. It allows them to use them wisely and teaches them responsibility. However, if a student is in serious need of a bathroom break then they should be allowed to do so regardless of whether or not they have a pass.
