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 suggest that you give the student(s) a time limit on how long they have to use the bathroom. Maybe on the bathroom pass (if you have one) put a timer on it and also have the teacher have one. I would also tell the student if they are not back within the certain time they will have to do an extra problem or question in class for each minute they are late. I would also inform the student that if they need any additional time they need to bring in a doctors note. You might also want to contact the parents and notify them of the issue to see if the student needs to be taken to the doctor. |

| Comments: Providing the students with problems to solve for every minute that they are late would be useful in ensuring that the child is using the restroom in a timely manner. I would not use this until I was certain it was not a medical situation however. |

| Comments: I agree with contacting the parent but putting a time limit on bathroom breaks may cause a student unnecessary anxiety and stress. |

| Comments: I would use this solution especially if I can predict this behavior. I'd find it unnecessary for all students. |
