He warned not to do this and receives disciplinary marks. When the parent is connected about the issues the response is "He can leave class whenever he wants to and will not get into trouble at home for doing so." What is a possible solution for this problem? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Explain to the parent that while at the home, it is acceptable to use the restroom whenever it is needed, that in the classroom it is not. You are a teacher dealing with X amount of students at one time, and for safety issues first and foremost you need to know exactly where each student is at all times. If the students could get up and leave the classroom whenever they wanted to, the teacher would have no way of managing a classroom, or really even noticing when who has gone where. Hopefully after the parent thinks this over they will be more cooperative and understanding.
