  Case: Student who avoids subjects
I know a teacher that has a student who constantly goes into the restroom when a subject they do not like it being taught. The student gets up without permission and will lock themself in the restroom for 30 minutes (about the length of the lesson). When the teacher has talked to him about this the student will say that he has to go and that it is an emergency. But this emergency will happen everyday during social studies, so it usually occurs around the same time. How would you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would give out bathroom passes to each student and explain that you only have a certain amount of times to go each month.

Comments: This solution impacts the entire class, rather than addressing the one student.

Comments: While this may appear to be easiest, we cannot deny a student the right to use the restroom. First, the teacher should check the students emergency card kept on file at the school to see if it indicates that the student has a medical condition. If there is not medical reason determined, the teacher should privately meet with the student to have an open discussion on why they are leaving class, what the students solution is to the problem, and how to implement the solution.
