  Case: Drawing in the Bathroom
I have a student who continues to write on the bathroom wall. The school staff has already cleaned the bathroom twice and has sent out an email regarding the situation. I do have a bathroom sign-in-sheet so that bathroom use is monitored. How can the student be identified and how should I proceed in solving the misbehavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In addition to a bathroom log, enforce a self-monitoring type system, where prior to using the bathroom, the student report any inappropriate bathroom conditions prior to using. When it comes to a single restroom, students are quick to call-out gross/wrong conditions.

Comments: A bathroom log is a good thing to have but you need to make sure other students feel comfortable to speak up to you without anyone else in the class hearing about the problem.

Comments: This is a great idea. While I do agree that the bathroom log should still be used, I've seen the bathroom logs used incorrectly many times in classrooms.

Comments: I saw this type of case somewhere else. I agree with you as well as the person I agreed with on the other case. A log is beneficial to narrowing down who is doing the vandalism.

Comments: A self-monitoring bathroom system is a great solution. This will prevent the teacher from having to interrupt lessons to address bathroom issues. This system will also teach students that they are expected to respect their environment and that they are responsible for keeping it clean and orderly.
