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 assign a time limit for the bathroom or have the student go with a classmate to make sure they are only using the restroom and coming right back. If they go with a classmate and still take an excessive amount of time I would simply ask the other student what was going on.
