  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!)
I also teach high school students. I have implemented a "no pass" zone sign for my classroom. My students know from the beginning, once class begins no one will be allowed to leave my room unless the office calls for them. My students did not like this policy at the beginning of the year, but have since gotten used to it. They know to handle everything they need to before they come to my room. II do have one student that has provided a note from a doctor that requires them to be able to use the restroom when needed.

Comments: I do not like this solution very well. I do not think it is fair to not allow students to leave the room after class has started, unless called to go to the office, because if a student really has to go to the bathroom and it is an emergency, then they should be able to go.

Comments: I feel that this is a bit much and there should be at least one time during class that is acceptable to go to the bathroom.

Comments: this inhibits a child from using the bathroom. if it were an emergency, it would be unfair to the student and possibly embarrassing considering the outcomes.
