When I issue my students passes, they lose them or use them all and still ask to go to the bathroom. I can't tell them they can't go to the bathroom when they are sitting there telling me they really have to go, but I know some of them aren't really going to the bathroom or just want to leave for a minute. I've tried every system and can't find one that works. Any ideas? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There are many options. Most school have policies on the amount of bathroom breaks you are able to take. Most school you have to wait 10 minutes after the bell rings before you can use the restroom. Students should always sign in and out and cannot miss more then 3 minutes. You should encourage your students to go before class and give class participation grades accordingly.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think punishing students who use the bathroom frequently by lowering their classroom participation grade is inappropriate. Using positive reinforcement would be a better solution to this issue, since it is unfair for students with medical conditions and issues to suffer a lower grade because of their frequent bathroom visits.
