  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!)
To address lengthy bathroom breaks, establish clear expectations for break duration and implement a sign-out system to monitor time spent outside class. Consider scheduling regular breaks to reduce disruptions and discuss the importance of this privilege with your students, emphasizing its impact on learning. For consistent misuse, apply suitable consequences but remain open to discussing individual needs, as there may be underlying issues. Positive reinforcement for proper use can encourage adherence to the rules, creating a balance between structure and understanding individual needs.
