Case: Too Much Time in the Bathroom
At the school that I am interning at there is a student in one of my classes who takes excessive amounts of time in the bathroom. Sometimes, it will take this student up to 20 minutes to use the bathroom right around the corner, and come back. We are not sure whether or not the student is actually using the bathroom or just saying that he is so he does not have to participate. My CT, her assistant and I are all women, so we are unable to go into the bathroom. What should we do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would allow the student to use the restroom and in about 5 minutes I would walk outside the restroom and through the surrounding hallways, if the student is using this time to goof-off, chances are he will not be doing it silently. You will not have to enter the restroom. If the student is in the restroom, call from outside to check on the student, ask if they are feeling alright, etc. If the student continuously denies feeling sick or having restroom issues, ask the parents about his restroom behaviors at home and communicate his behaviors at school. |

Comments: It is important to address this problem with the parents. They would know if there is an actual problem or if he is trying to miss class. They would also be able to provide you with the home support needed to end this behavior. |

Comments: I agree that this solution appears as though it could detract from the rest of the class if the teacher has to constantly leave the room because of this one student's behavior. |

Comments: Although at first the proposed solution sounds like a good idea but realistically the teacher does not have enough time to stop to check on the student plus the other students might misbehave or get off task if the teacher is constantly leaving the classroom. I would not follow this solution if I were the teacher just because I feel that I would be busy with teaching the class and not have enough time to follow and check on the student. |

Comments: I don't think that this is the best solution, because if the student is having problems then its embracing for them to admit. If they aren'r then they are likely yo lie to get out of trouble |
