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!)
When handling something like this the most important thing is to not cause embarrassment to the student. Tracking students restroom uses through a sign in/out sheet will document the students bathroom uses and amount of time out of the classroom. After this, a private conversation with the student and if still needed the parents to help solve the problem for the student. |

| Comments: I agree that it is important to document the time a student spends out of the classroom. Then, if a conference with the student is needed then you will have documentation to show the student all of the missed class time. I do not think that twenty minutes is a long time for a bathroom break if the student is actually using the bathroom. It is definitely not appropriate to embarrass or cause a student to feel like they are doing something wrong. This could cause further medical problems of anxiety so it is best to speak with the parents if a pattern is noticed of long breaks on a consistent basis. |
