  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 have had similar experiences with one of my students. The only difference is that he got caught in the bathroom with a girl getting ready to do you know what. He had his bathroom privileges revoked and now, if he has to go, has to have someone go with him. Perhaps the CT needs to stop allowing this student to go to the bathroom during class. This should not be a rule for just this student, but for all students so that he does not feel singled out. Have the students earn dollars or points that they can use to go to the bathroom and if they don't have point, they do not get to go.
