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 make sure there is nothing to be aware of about the student in this case (health issues). If not, I would talk to the student about the behavior. If that does not work, I would give the student a set amount of time they are allowed to be out of class (ten minutes top for example). If that does not work, I would then notify the parent and ask for support in correcting the issue.
