  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!)
I have this same issue, except I the only first grade classroom on a hall with a bunch of second, fourth and fifth grade classrooms. Whenever I have a student that is consistently misbehaving in the bathroom, and I know because the responsible students have already told me what they are doing in there, I always send a responsible student as a bathroom monitor. And if the student goes quickly, is not loud and does not make a mess they are rewarded for their smart choices.

Comments: Rewards for good behavior instead of punishments for poor behavior is a good motivator for students.
