[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the poster who keeps insisting we're all making the bathroom locking situation up, here's yet another article from another student high school newspaper, complaining about this problem: https://thermtide.com/22277/news/locked-bathrooms-cause-frustration-among-students-and-staff/ [QUOTE]However, some acknowledge that RM staff is locking bathrooms in order to prevent students from vaping or participating in other activities during school hours. RM security recognizes that students are frustrated but also sees the pros in the situation. “We are trying to avoid the kids vaping and doing other things in the bathroom,” Security guard Tim Thompson said. MCPS’s restroom policy includes staff monitoring bathrooms, schools limiting access to certain bathrooms during transition and unstructured periods and keeping the doors of unlocked bathrooms open with latches. This plan also states that frequently used restrooms should stay accessible to students. Some RM students are also confused about why the restrooms are locked as they believe it is not beneficial to the school. “I don’t really see why they’re locking them in the first place,” Benachenhou said. Mr. Thompson explained some possible reasons bathrooms would be locked during the school day. “It’s usually if there is graffiti, [if] somebody messes up a toilet or something breaks,” Thompson said. “It’s more so what the students are going inside of them and forcing building services to have to clean them.” The rationale behind locking the restrooms includes not only reducing drug usage and preventing skipping classes but also in order to maintain cleanliness in school. Students clogging toilets and leaving the restrooms dirty seems to be a large part of the problem. [/QUOTE][/quote] OMG the graffiti makes me feel so unsafe! You people need to get a life.[/quote]
