  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!)
In my situation, I have realized that students are not always upset when they get in trouble, but they are extremely embarrassed and upset if the class gets in trouble. Usually other students know who this person is. Each time there is writing in the bathroom, (if you can prove it was from your class) I would have my entire class loose recess or any extra time they are given. Maybe this would help! I would not continue to do it, however, if I noticed it still did not resolve the problem. Usually when they realize they are hurting others who are getting mad about it, they will stop!

Comments: While this is a solution, you do not want to punish the whole class for one student's tasks. This could cause resentment amongst other students.
