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!)
I would write up a response on what I want to do and why it is beneficial to the my students and then I would go back to what I did last year. That was effective for you and that helped you control your classroom so yes I would go back to that strategy. |

| Comments: I think writing why it is beneficial is helpful, you're right. Before openly defying what she was told to do, I think she should propose her idea in a meeting so perhaps administration or other teachers can weigh in on it. If they do not support it, she might get a good explanation as to why. Other teachers might be able to discuss solutions they have that work for them. Also then it doesn't look so much like she's rebelling. |

| Comments: I would not do this. Although you have written a response it does not give you the go ahead to go against what soupier has told you to do. |
