  Case: Student who avoids subjects
I know a teacher that has a student who constantly goes into the restroom when a subject they do not like it being taught. The student gets up without permission and will lock themself in the restroom for 30 minutes (about the length of the lesson). When the teacher has talked to him about this the student will say that he has to go and that it is an emergency. But this emergency will happen everyday during social studies, so it usually occurs around the same time. How would you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try changing the time frame that you have planned out for social studies to figure out if the students really is trying to avoid the subject. If the student has just returned from lunch or recess, the student may simply just need to go during that time frame. Depending on the students diet the school food may "go right through him" and he decides to stay in the bathroom until the smell goes away in fear of being made fun of or bullied.

Comments: I believe in finding if it truly a subject issue or just a need to go issue is probably the best thing to do first. If it is then move onto what you can do about it.
