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 contact someone from administration to check on the child, if the bathroom breaks take longer than 5 minutes. Make sure you speak with the child and see if they have any health concerns, if not tell them they need to be back in the classroom within 5 minutes, if not they will face a consequence.
