  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!)
I would create a system where the students hold each other accountable. Using the log, if there are any drawings present, everyone who used the bathroom before it was reported would either have to clean the mess up together during recess or share any information they have about who is creating the mess. I would make it clear to students that their classmates won't know what they said, that only the misbehaving student will be punished, and that it doesn't make you uncool or bad to call out others, but can instead help them to grow and improve.
