  Case: Bathroom
I teach at a high school and the new favorite place for couples to meet up is the bathroom. When a child ask to have a pass to the bathroom I often times wonder if that is what they are going to do. I am always conscious of how long they are gone, but it only takes seconds to make out with someone. We have had many students "caught" in the bathroom recently. I would love to hear any solutions for me individually and/or even our school to combat this problem. We do have cameras outside the bathroom, but those are only viewed if a problem arises or questions about students being in their together come up.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I see this happen in the middle school I am currently interning at, and I remember it happening when I was in high school myself. I think that limiting the students to a certain amount of bathroom passes is effective. When I was in middle school, my teacher gave us (I can't remember exactly but this is for example) ten bathroom passes for the semester because it is expected that we use the restroom during passing time. If we had any bathroom passes left over at the semester we could turn them in for extra credit points. This strategy was a good incentive.
