  Case: Students staying out of class too long
Lately, my students are showing a new trend of asking for the bathroom pass but then taking upwards of 20 minutes to come back to class. I know that the bathroom can be a touchy subject for some students as each situation is different, so how can I go about limiting time out of class and enforcing consequences when the bathroom pass privilege is taken advantage of?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I'd say first have a talk with the students abusing their bathroom use because like you said you never know if it was an emergency or not. Then try to set a maximum amount of time to use the restroom. It shouldn't be too short of time like 5 minutes especially when there might be people waiting to use the restroom, but try to cut those 20 minutes to 10 minutes. Have a log where students sign off when they left with an initial and a initial when they return. Have a punishment if the behavior continues so students will try to be more efficient with their bathroom use.
