Case: Bathroom
I am on Block schedule, which requires students to be in my classroom for 90 minutes. That is a long time especially in the morning and right after lunch. Last year, halfway through the class, I allowed students to use the restroom and gave a 5 minute break. This was also good for their mind. It worked great. It didn't interfere with any other classes, my teachings or learning. However, at the end of last year, my department head asked me why and said I probably shouldn't do that. However, she couldn't give me a reason why. I tried to explain to her, it helps control my classroom management. I haven't done it this year and struggle throughout the lesson, because I continue to have students ask me to use the restroom. Should I go back to what I did last year?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If it was your department head, then I say do what you want that is working in your classroom! I am also a department head, so I know they do not have the right to tell you how to run your classroom. Unless your principal has asked you to stop, then I say keep rocking it! I give my kiddos "brain breaks" which is usually about 5 minutes total which sounds like what you are doing as well! |

| Comments: I would never do this. This is wrong. While the department head does not necessarily have the right to tell you how to run your classroom, the department head may have been speaking on behalf of the principal. So rather than just doing what you want, I think first it would be better to sit down and have a conversation about it with your department head and/or principal. |

| Comments: I agree that the department head is not running the classroom for you and is not in there to see how your students are interacting with the break, I say try it out. |
