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!) I am currently working with high school students and one thing I believe the teachers in the classroom that combats the overuse of bathroom passes is to set time throughout the day to have designated bathroom breaks. If you have the students for only one period you can allow them to use the restroom during a warm up time or before you begin your lesson. If breaks are needed after it should be for emergencies and not abused. If this is an issue where students just want to get out of the room or take a break from work there should be a place in the back of the room the students can go to for a few minutes to take that break. Then they are not leaving the room or missing out on information.
